Seed Vault

AuthorMessage

I've gotten 2 of them and set them up in the yards of 2 houses.

I'm waiting for gardens to elder. I've made sure my back pack is full and bank & seed vaults are empty. I'm hoping the default over-flow is into the seed vault in that house.

Has anyone tested this or just know the answer to this question? If it's still overflowing into the banks it would negate part of the usefulness of the Seed Vault being a separate storage area.

Also, I requested some little changes & additions be made to make it a little more fun and a more attractive Crown Purchase.
So, Please KI can you:

1) Make the Seed Vault a universal plant Like - like the Tropical Gnome -
(including the action of speeding things up by 25% like that gnome.)

& Make the effect work for all plants in the whole yard or whole house - since it's so big and there can only
be one in an area.

3) It would be fun - since it looks like a house - if little gnomes ran in and out - like the soldiers from the Wooden Horse Pet - The gnomes could look like all the different kinds of gnomes in the game and could run around throwing fairy dust once in a while or randomly throwing garden spells or just rolling and playing in the yards.

Thank you so much for the seed vault no matter what you do about the additional ideas.

Seed vault is meant for a Secondary means of storage. I am pretty sure it wont overflow into the vault. User must place seeds into the Item and also take them out. No automation there. HOWEVER that is a good idea for them to implement as I know a few people who honestly have 70+ Plants. Can get pretty messy in terms of how many seeds a person has. And you can even lose seeds if bank an backpack was full. Another idea to add to yours would be to give a confirm message to the user IF they are about to lose seeds due to harvesting at elder. No sense In losing the seeds by a mistake.

Yes that would be very helpful, as it's actually happened to me more than once.

Yes, it's confirmed - my seeds did not overflow into my empty seed vault in the same yard. They all overflowed into my bank. Oddly - after the first one overflowed into the bank I removed that seed and filled the bank with other stuff - Maybe if the bank is full it overflows into the vault? Then I went out and finished harvesting. All of my remaining DHE overflowed into my already full bank. I didn't lose any - in fact I believe the there are extras. Which means - I'm pretty sure 2 of the 4 Ultra Helephant Ears rewarded me with DHE seeds. Or all 4 did - but I lost 2 seeds in the rigamarole.

its a great idea...the plants "liking" the seed vault and if so making effect of like in the entire yard or inside entire house makes sense! also think animation of gnomes running in and out would be cute ooo maybe animation happens when vault is full? so without checking it from a distance you can see it is full?
i liked it best when it was available as gold OR crown purchase, and without a limit of 1 please remedy this as gardeners have more gold than anything else and can have a difficult time running between bazaar spending it just to run back to finish harvest then back to bazaar before they can replant...can get a bit annoying whereas the available via gold purchase makes it a very attractive item even if it was as high as 50k in gold or 1000 crowns it would be a good sought after purchase in my opinion by lots of people and if the animation did happen when it was full even nongardening housing decor lovers would buy one and fill it up....overall great idea
