(This might not be Masterwork related, but since MW seems to change pigtails it might)

I haven't played Dwarf Fortress in quite some time, so I hope this will not be a stupid question... It seems that I have run out of pigtail spawns (seeds) and I'm really confused how that happened?!

I embarked with 20-30 pigtail spawns
I do a have a 5x5 unterground "all-year" farm-plot that once produced pigtails just fine
I'm now roughly in year 3 and for some reason I don't have any pigtails left und only 2 remaining pigtail spawns (The spawn may even have been from a merchant mixed seed-bag)

I don't understand where all my pigtails, or more importantly spawns vanished to:
* Up until now I don't create any thread/cloth/fiber
* Obviously pigftails can't be cooked/eaten, unlike plump helmets this can't be an issue
* Early on I had some issues with rotting/withering plump-helmets due to missing containers

Side-question:
You get plump helmet spawns/seeds by brewing plump helmets, how are pigtail spawn optained when they arn't brewable?

[arbarbonif]

Um, pigtails can be brewed.  You can get spawns from either brewing or turning them into thread.  I believe everything other than cooking (including raw eating) produces seeds from plants.  And in Masterwork, pigtails are cookable (according to the manual).

Yeah, I guess you cooked them. You can disable that in the kitchen stocks menu.

[Sirow]

Hmm, that actually might have been the case.
I was also confused because pigtails didn't show up in the kitchen screen, but I guess thats because I already ran out of them...

Thanks.

This happened to me too, except I don't even have a kitchen built. Is it possible they were eaten by vermin? Is there even a way to check?

[Meph]

Vermin can eat seeds, yes.
