Seeds Depleted

The bag can be full. Farmers still plant nothing until the queue names a seed and a count.

Updated

In-game seed inventory on Crop Seeds, with Potato Seed selected and six owned

The warning is not an empty bag

Assign workers says Seeds depleted from the first day, even when the bag has plenty of packets. Sow can be switched on and the farmers still stand there.

The planting order was never written. The game treats that as no seeds.

Set the queue

Open the same kind of queue you use for alchemy and for the production machines. Pick which seed the farmers are allowed to use, and type how many packets they may spend.

Until both fields are filled, the button keeps saying Seeds depleted. Turning Sow off does not clear it. The original poster tried that and the warning stayed.

  • Open the farm assignment, not just the Sow toggle.
  • Choose the seed type.
  • Set a quantity above zero.
  • Leave Sow on.
  • Confirm the job landed in the queue, the same way a machine craft does.

After they will plant

Farmers only spend the amount you allowed. When that count hits zero the warning comes back, which is the real depleted state. Raise the number or pick another seed.

Match the farmer to the field. Sissi's described talent is farming. A retailer on the plot does not fix a seed queue.

Traits and the underground

The store page says there are over 100 crops and that traits change the harvest. It does not print the trait list. Once a crop is actually growing, read the trait line on that plant instead of hunting a chart.

Underground plots and alchemical circles are the later yield tools. They do nothing about the Seeds depleted button.

What not to rip out

If you cannot see where a seed comes back from, do not trash the last packet to free a slot. The queue cannot target a seed you deleted.

There is still no in-game log of every material result. Keep one of each odd herb until you have used it once.

Where this was confirmed

Steam thread Seeds depleted, 23 September 2026. ultramarintjagvetinte wrote the queue fix. giliazova confirmed the thanks, then found that disabling Sow leaves the message up.

FAQ

Seeds Depleted FAQ

I have 30 seed packs. Why does it say depleted?

The farmer queue has no seed selected, or the allowed amount is zero. The bag is not the queue.

I turned Sow off. Why is the warning still there?

Sow is only the on switch. The warning tracks the queue. Set a seed and an amount.
