Flax Seeds

Flax seeds are the source of the all-important flax crop. They are planted using the Plant menu on grassy areas. There are different varieties of flax seeds which require different forms of cultivation. Flax seeds can be planted to produce more flax seeds or to produce flax. The latter requires weeding and for some varieties watering.

Different strains of flax seeds exist, each with its own set of characteristics. The two basic strains available are Old Egypt and Nile Green. Later, after Cross Breeding technology is discovered, players will be able to breed new and improved custom strains.

• Old Egypt must be weeded twice, and yields 1 flax per bed. No water is required.
• Nile Green must be watered once and weeded once. It yields 2 flax per bed.

Obtaining

Basic flax seeds (of either Old Egypt or Nile Green variety) are available upon request from any School of Art. The school will provide you with 3 free seeds. You can request more seeds after a wait of a few minutes.

In general, flax seeds are reproduced by planting a flax bed, then allowing it to go wild; it will then produce new seeds of the same strain which can be collected.

Key:

• Flax: Flax yield per flax bed. Higher is better.
• Rotten: Rotten flax yield per flax bed. Higher is better.
• Seeds: Number of seeds gathered per harvest of a wild flax bed. Higher is better.
• Weed: Number of "Weed this flax bed" actions needed per harvest. Lower is better.
• Water: Number of "Weed and water this flax bed" actions needed per harvest. Lower is better.
• Flax Beds/1k: Number of flax beds needed to yield 1k flax(All types or Non-Rotten). Lower is better.
• Seed Beds/1k: Number of flax beds that have gone wild needed to yield enough seeds to plant enough beds for 1k flax. Lower is better.
• Actions/1k: A rough estimate at the number of actions (planting, weed/water, harvest, seed collection) needed for 1k flax. Lower is better.

• "Any type" columns includes both rotten and non-rotten flax.
• "Non-rotten" columns only counts non-rotten yield, e.g. for use in compound expansion.

Public Flax Warehouses

Note: There should be a public flax seed warehouse near the chariot in every region. Please update the map with other regions' wh locations.

Current Public Flax Seed WH:

• 1598,2890 in River Plains (Near Chariot, in front of Beetle Garden, directly beside Voting Booth)
• -331, 6733 in Cat's Claw Ridge (Southwest of Chariot, beside the road, in front of the vineyards)

Perhaps we can use the below Public Wheat warehouses, for seed storage too?

Current Public Wheat Seed WH:

• 1020, 6930 in Old Egypt (Near Chariot, in front of Beetle Garden)
• 910, 4910 in Midland Valley (Near Chariot, in front of Beetle Garden)
• 1590, 2880 in River Plains (Near Chariot, in front of Beetle Garden) - Note these are currently stored at 1598, 2890, also in front of Beetle Garden but beside voting booth).
