Seed multiplication

In the first part of the late game you can create a virtuous loop using the recipes below which will allow the multiplication of any seed type into an infinite amount of any other seed type. Universal Seed Pod can be created from any of the seed types and once you have these you can create the loop of three Assembler MKII and a Thresher MKII.

To make the loop self sustaining it must have 4 or more Universal Seed Pod (4x) which results in Unstable Seed Pod (4x), then into Kindlevine Seed (20x) and Shiverthorn Seed (20x) which in turn can be made into Sesamite Seed (40x), and finally back into Universal Seed Pod (4x) with Sesamite Seed (8x) spare. As this loop continues to run the spare seeds will reach the point where an additional Universal Seed Pod is made. Providing the minimum amount is always left in the loop it will continue to make additional seeds.

The process can be started as soon as you are able to make Assembler MKII and have unlocked the required technologies.

Notes

• It is not essential to use

Thresher MKII but not doing so will slow down the loop or require more Thresher to compensate.

• It 'is' essential to use

Assembler MKII in order to get the x4 production output which makes the loop self-sustaining.

• The optimal number of machines to keep the system fully utilized is

Assembler MKII (4x) to make the Universal Seed Pod, Assembler MKII (1x) to make the unstable_seed_pod, Thresher MKII (5x) to make the Kindlevine Seed and Shiverthorn Seed and finally Assembler MKII (1x) to make the Sesamite Seed.

• There are slight variations on this system to use

Kindlevine Seed or Shiverthorn Seed which require an additional step to convert all seeds into the same type, or two loops converting the separate seeds into Universal Seed Pod. These methods can be accessed slightly earlier.
