Theshold for cookable seeds
« on: March 18, 2021, 08:32:04 pm »

Instead of simply having a given seed enabled or disabled for cooking, instead allow the player to set a threshold beyond which cooking is enabled.

For example: If the threshold is 25, cooking is disabled until there are more than 25 seeds, where upon the excess seeds can be used for cooking.

This is a way of managing seed build up without any micromanagement.

Very good idea. I've occasionally run out of things like rock nuts, beans and rice before, and it can be a pain to reacquire aboveground plants that don't grow on site and aren't available to your civ

Could this be done dynamically, for exemple not allowing rock nuts if there's less of them than the needed amount to seed every field of quarry bushes?
