Myes so i'm not exactly sure how i got those extra 7 seeds in there. Note that at the time I wasn't actively farming or harvesting rope reeds. I was proccessing plants en masse and did not have rope reed on brew and they can't be cooked nor eaten raw. I did although have a multitude of hearbalists (well 2) actively rummaging for plants and seeds which as i see it is the explanation. If my assumption is correct then we'd have to update the wiki to put plant gathering as exempt from the seed cap.

Hi!

I don't know how you came over the cap, but I do know that processing plants will also give you seeds. Only cooking (and rotting, I think) destroys them. Every other regular usage will give you seeds.

On a different note:

An annoying noble which I am currently building the intricate maze of death for gobbos which she will happily test as requested a few things i'd need some help with.

Large gems: I know they sometimes appear as by product of gem cutting but besides mass cutting is there a specific way to increase the chance of those being made. (I don't have access to rock crystal nor sand so raw glass cutting can't save me here)

The same bloody noble also mandated trumpets

Now I assumed trumpets would come out of a craftworshop pumping out wooden and rock musical instruments but alas according to the wiki and what i have observed trumpets are not actually craftable. Would this be that they have to be made out of metal instead of rock and wood or is this noble ust asking to die?

Only by using the highest level gemcutter thsat you have. The probability of a large gem getting created depends on the skill level of the gem cutter.

I've seen something similar happen with my FPS cap- sometimes when I pause the game it goes over 100 for just long enough to be visible. I'd guess that caps in Dwarf Fortress work something like 'If [number] is equal to or greater than [cap] then [number] cannot increase'. So if you get a bunch at once you might get over the cap, but afterward you can't increase it further.

Just request gems from the dwarven caravan. They'll bring googads of the things.

you went over the seed cap by buying seeds off a caravan.

They will bring you seeds if you are over the cap, and the cap won't magically disintegrate them or anything.

While I would rather not compare the FPS cap with any real ingame caps, I think you have a good idea there. After all, the population cap does work exactly as you describe it, and thus, it may very well be that the other in-game caps have the same mechanism.

According to the raws it doesn't look like there is any difference between the trumpet and the rest, and I'm fairly certain I've had some stone trumpets lying about.
EDIT: Yup, got a diorite trumpet right here.
