Playerson Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life can enjoy a serene and laid-back lifestyle by settling down on a farm in the charming town of Forgotten Valley. Here, their responsibilities will include cultivating crops, raising livestock, selling goods, and even starting a family. Establishing a steady stream of income is crucial, and one of the primary ways to achieve this is by selling crops for Gold. To streamline this process, acquiring useful tools like the Seed Maker can greatly increase efficiency.
Initially, players can obtain crop seeds from Vesta's Farm. However, she charges a substantial amount for both seeds and fertilizer. Opting for the Seed Maker allows players to transform crops into seeds, resulting in significant cost savings. While the installation of the Seed Maker in A Wonderful Life does require a considerable amount of Gold, players can find a way to obtain it at no cost.
How to Get a Free Seed Maker in A Wonderful Life
Players can obtain a free Seed Maker in A Wonderful Life by befriending Daryl, a resident scientist and inventor who resides in Forgotten Valley. Daryl can usually be found either in his Lab or exploring the Forest. The most efficient method to enhance the level of friendship with Daryl is to engage in daily discussions with him or present him with his preferred gifts, such as Cheese, Fish, and Fossils.
Players can produce Cheese by purchasing the Processing Room in the Ledger for 150,000G. Collecting Fish and Fossils is relatively easier, and they can be found within the first few days on the farm. To acquire Fish, players need to buy a Fishing Rod from Van, priced at 500G. Van will make a visit to Forgotten Valley on the third day of the season. Once the Fishing Rod is obtained, players can engage in fishing in any of the bodies of water around the village.
Fossils can be found at the Digsite, situated across the bridge and near the waterfall. Between 10 AM and 5 PM, players have the opportunity to visit the Digsite and seek Carter's assistance to obtain a shovel and permission to unearth various items. Additionally, players can enhance their friendship level with Daryl by presenting him with a gift.
As players approach Daryl, a sequence of cutscenes will unfold, leading to a pivotal moment when he brings up the Seed Maker. Pay a visit to Daryl's lab in the afternoon, where he passionately expresses his frustrations about a company in the city stealing his groundbreaking idea for a Seed Maker. Determined to demonstrate the superiority of his invention over the imitation, Daryl generously gifts players with one to be installed on their farm.
How to Use the Seed Maker in A Wonderful Life
The Seed Maker allows players to convert mature crops into seeds. Whether obtained from Daryl or bought through the Ledger, this tool offers significant cost savings compared to purchasing seeds from Vesta. By inserting any fruit or vegetable into it, the Seed Maker will break it down into two seeds.
Players have the option to place a maximum of 12 varieties of crops in the machine. During the processing period, the Seed Maker will display a red color, which will then revert back to blue once the process is complete. By utilizing this machine for every batch of crops grown, players can eventually eliminate intermediaries and independently harvest all of their crops.
Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life can now be enjoyed on PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X/S.
