With Plant DNA obtained during Getting Started, you're ready to create a fertilized seed. This is the crucial step toward bringing prehistoric plants back to life.
Requirements
To create a fertilized seed, you'll need:
- A Plant DNA strand (must be 100% quality)
- Seeds or crops: Wheat Seeds, Beetroot Seeds, Torchflower Seeds, Potato, or Carrot
- A Syringe (Clean)
Supported Seed Types
The following seeds and crops can be fertilized with Plant DNA:
- Wheat Seeds — All prehistoric plants
- Beetroot Seeds — All prehistoric plants
- Torchflower Seeds — All prehistoric plants
- Potato — All prehistoric plants
- Carrot — All prehistoric plants
Warning
Note: Melon Seeds and Pumpkin Seeds cannot be used for fertilization. Saplings cannot be fertilized either, meaning prehistoric trees are currently only obtainable in Creative mode.
Process
-
Clean the Seeds
Place the seeds/crop in a crafting table with a clean syringe Output: Unfertilized Seeds -
Fertilize the Seeds
Place the Plant DNA (100% quality), the unfertilized seeds, and a clean syringe together in the crafting table Output: Fertilized Plant Seeds -
Cultivate the Seeds
Place the fertilized seeds into a Flora Cultivator — the machine used to grow prehistoric plants and trees
Next Steps
You've successfully created fertilized plant seeds! The next stage is placing them in the Flora Cultivator to grow your prehistoric plants.
Tips
- Always use a clean syringe — dirty ones won't work
- Only Plant DNA can be used to fertilize seeds
- DNA must be exactly 100% quality — anything lower will not work
- All supported seed types produce the same fertilized output and can grow any prehistoric plant
- Prehistoric trees cannot currently be grown in Survival, as saplings cannot be fertilized
