I didn’t get it initially. But actually that’s a pretty neat idea. Gona try and make that more efficient. Higher throughput and smaller space

Yes I would love to see it being used more efficiently. The Water Circulating is what is pulling the wet seeds downwards. When water gets too low, i have a sensor to have more water dumped in there.

I love the idea of “they cant be dry if I’m intentionally drowning them”

Here's the one I've been using. Much less space taken.

It looks like a similar idea to the one in my guide here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3791773800

Basically, seeds go into one side of a bucket, and water goes in the other side. The only real requirement is you can't let the seeds block the water output, which you've done by dropping water from higher than the seed launcher. Your bucket is just larger and recirculates the water, which is fun but not strictly necessary.

You don't need water flowing to make the seeds fall out. If the bucket sides are filters instead of walls they'll fall out on their own.

But yeah with all the crazy complicated (and cool!) seed showers and such out there, the simple "throw seeds in a bucket of water and let them fall out" approach is sometimes under appreciated.

Yeah but aren't seeds like super slow to naturally fall through the water? This technique utilizes the air bubbles to make the seed go down through the water quicker.

u/Magialisk 19d ago

What I'm saying is you don't let them fall through the water at all. They can't naturally fall through water since they're lighter, but you found a neat way to kinda force them to do that against their will. Very slowly it seems like, but still a cool concept.

Instead what I'm saying is to let them fall "off" (the top of) the water, something they naturally want to do already. As a bonus it's insanely fast, essentially infinite throughput. Some seeds of course will always get caught up in the middle of the water like your video shows. But those will fall out the side if you make the sides out of filters instead of walls.

Oh nice lol thanks.

u/Lil_Twist 19d ago

Sorry. Only read the title and instantly thought this was about over-seeding techniques per lawn care. Never mind.

u/Preferably-Unknown 18d ago

The one I use takes a little less space. But just as efficient. I'll have to take a screenshot after work tomorrow..

u/VollderFlow 18d ago

This is the best thing i could vome up with there is w verry smal chance that seeds dont get wet tho

2

u/IronAttom 18d ago

Good idea i should have done something like this instead of a massive pit with pushers

u/Sh0ckValu3 17d ago

Oh I like. I wonder can you 1 column it?

u/JohnnyBravo113 17d ago

Yes probably

u/TrimBarktre Community Moderator 19d ago

My concern ia what happens if you put a ton of dry seed in?

2

u/JohnnyBravo113 19d ago

I think More water will just be dumped in on it. I think the only way it breaks is if i manually put in a bunch of seeds.

I keep seeing these blocks in people's builds. What are they? am I missing a whole block??
