LadyCFII,
Will this be in the newsletter? This will be a big help especially for those of us who are cross pollunating trying to find the magic plants.
This is truly exciting news. Thank you so much.

We don't usually put anything in the newsletter that isn't an official LDW offering. The Virtual Seed Tray is entirely Borg's creation, not something sponsored by LDW, although I am helping him test it and making suggestions along the way. It will be announced here when it's ready, and then placed in the Guides section, where everyone who wants it can download it.

Is this for real? How do you order? I want one.

Read my post just above yours, which tells how we will make it available.

I'd be willing to test. How do you sign up for it?

I will test also if given that choice!

Awwwww! um, whats that? newsletter? there is a newsletter?

Virtual Seed Tray Update

The seeds that plant tycoon starts players with are a mystery until they are planted. They do not have pictures of their parent plants on the seed page to be able to figure out what they are. Similarly, store-bought seeds do not identify themselves to the world, they must be planted to know what they are. So to keep the identity of these seeds a mystery, these seeds are now only identified as "mystery seed" by the seed tray program.

Using the picture of the seed in plant tycoon and using sfrose's wonderful seed guide pictures, one can narrow down the mystery seed in plant tycoon to what the tier of the flower is, and what the foliage is. So the suggestion has been made, instead of calling all these seeds "mystery seed", call them "Tier I Reptans" or "Tier IV Ball Cactus" etc.

The suggestion has also been made to give the option of removing the parent lineage from all seeds or from only the seeds that have been checked off.

Another suggestion has been made that the user be given the option to turn off having the seeds sorted and then stored back to the game's seed tray.

if no bugs are found, i think the program is darn close to being released to everyone. thank you all so much for being patient!

Yep! There's an LDW Newsletter. You can sign up to receive it on our Main Web Page (in the lower left part of the page), and you can always find a link to the current newsletter in this thread.

It looks like the Virtual Seed Tray has surpassed the Tribe Selector in both the amount of work and in popularity.

Congrats again Borg on the new title. And don't worry about living up to it, you already have! The fact that you've done so on a 7 year old computer just blows my mind!

Thank you so much for the compliment!

Update

Charley and LadyCFII made some good suggestions. Some people like having all their seeds sorted. Some people have a system for keeping seeds, for example putting rare seeds in the bottom tray. So now there is an option for the program to NOT sort all your seeds when it moves seeds back and forth between the virtual tray and the game.

Here is a picture of the latest version.


If there are no bugs in the new changes I hope to release this very very soon! Thank you all for being patient!
