Leaf Seeds

Leaf Seeds are unlocked after buying the Farming Certificate for 5,000. You are then presented with a new menu where you can purchase seeds.

Purchasing the first seed upgrade will make them start spawning in any location. They can be picked up manually, or later on picked up by ALBs with the "ALBs <3 Seeds" upgrade in the Celestial Shop. Further seed upgrades will increase the reward amount from seeds, from 1% up to 100%.

Spawning

Chance & Count

Seeds have a 1% chance to spawn every second. This can be increased with spawn chance upgrades (see Related Upgrades below). With no upgrades, they'll spawn from around 10 seconds to 3.5 minutes.

Multiple seeds can spawn at once. How many depends on your seed count upgrades.

Because seed spawn chance and count start at very low numbers, any upgrades to them can provide significant gains (eg. increasing your spawn chance by just +1% will double the chance for them to spawn).

Up to 50 seeds can be spawned on the screen at once.

Fertilizer

Seeds will spawn based on the amount of fertilizer you have for [x] leaf type. This is taken from the fertilizer upgrade from every shop except Celestial, Obsidian, and Benitoite. These shops have no normal fertilizer upgrade, because the leaves do not spawn on their own. As a result, these seeds will spawn at a much lower rate than all others if all fertilizers are purchased. However, Celestial seeds have a specialized "Seed Marketing" upgrade, that replaces a leaf fertilizer upgrade.

Unlocking

Ancient seeds, Gem Leaf seeds, and Meeds ( Mulch seeds) all need to be unlocked in the Sacred Shop for 50m each before they can be purchased in the Farming Shop. There are currently no seeds for Biotite, Malachite, Hematite, Plasma, Coal and Soul leaves.

Rewards

When you pick up a seed, you are given (Seed upgrade level)% of your current leaf total in leaves, with additional seed reward upgrades added afterwards.

Example:

• If you have level 1 Seeds and 1,000 leaves, picking up a seed will give you 10 leaves (1% of 1,000).
• If you have level 100 Seeds and 1,000 leaves, picking up a seed will give you 1,000 leaves (100% of 1,000).

Therefore, it's a good idea to only buy a seed upgrade if it won't drastically lower that leaf's current total. A good rule of thumb is to only spend up to ~50% of your total leaves on a seed upgrade.

The optimal time to buy seed level n is when you have (n+1) times as many leaves as the upgrade costs. For example:

• If you don't have any seeds for a leaf, buy the first seed upgrade as soon as possible
• If you have level 1 Seeds, only spend 50% of your leaves
• If you have level 2 Seeds, only spend 1/3 of your leaves
• If you have level 9 Seeds, only spend 10% of your leaves
• If you have level 99 Seeds, only spend 1% of your leaves

If you spend more than this, it will initially reduce the gain more than it increases it. However, if you know you will be afk instead of buying the seeds at the exact optimal time, it can be worth buying slightly earlier than what this rule says, since more seeds is always better in the long run.

Strategy

Seeds are extremely important for reaching amounts of leaves beyond billions. At first, this allows you to buy all the BLC upgrades in the Exotic Shop. Later, this allows for reaching the higher level upgrades in the Celestial Shop and beyond.
