"Eternal" seeds (mandrake, nightshade, garlic) - only give 1 resource item

Title: "Eternal" seeds (mandrake, nightshade, garlic) - only give 1 resource item
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? No
Details:
- I have now confirmed that the eternal seeds only yield 1 of each item when they are harvested - i.e. you get 1 garlic from the garlic plant, etc.
- I considered whether this should be "feedback" but I cannot imagine that it is not just a bug - consider:

--- yes, you pay some gold to buy normal seeds (we'll just use mandrake for an example)

--- but when you harvest that normal mandrake plant, you can get up to 16 mandrake roots! (presuming you have watered it regularly and this was grown in a greenhouse - but so was the eternal plants)

--- but with the exact same watering, the "eternal" seed yields only 1 mandrake root.

- So what is the incentive for even using the eternal seed? In the larger scheme of things it makes no sense to plant the eternal seed and use up precious greenhouse space if it is going to yield only 1 mandrake root.

Thus, my conclusion is that this must be either a simple oversight or a bug. I cannot fathom that it is "by design" as it simply does not save you enough gold, comparatively speaking, to use it! There is no "benefit" to using the eternal seeds currently.

*quietly packs away the eternal seeds*

Steps to Reproduce: Plant both types of seeds in a greenhouse. Water regularly. Check yields.

@Raven Swiftbow, You know the routine, lol. Thanks for reporting. Issue submitted for Team review.

 

Thanks, @Gamician! Indeed I do. Eh eh - they want a realistic economy, so I give them a cost-benefit analysis, lol.
