Seed sources, budget & costs

Choose available sources; budget caps the initial planting, not reinvestment. Crafted/found/bartered seeds are zero cash cost, not unlimited stock.

Machines, aging & seed recovery
Aging quality (Keg products)

Queues include machine and cask time. Zero means enough parallel machines, never instant goods. In-progress products stay inventory, not sales. Seed recovery assumes separate Seed Makers can finish the reserved inputs that day; results are an expected seed-yield scenario.
