Germinator

>germoir

The Germinator buys back your surplus of common seeds. You pour in up to thousands of seeds, it turns them into points, keeps a share depending on its tier, then draws rarer seeds against those points. A batch lasts 24 hours.

A seed is worth its growth

Each seed yields its growth time divided by 30 minutes: a carrot is worth 1 point, a void pepper 144. A thousand carrots and seven peppers weigh almost the same.

growthMinutes ÷ 30

The pool is frozen on deposit

The cap limits the number of seeds, the yield reduces the points, and the result is written into the batch. Upgrading the Germinator during the 24 hours does not change a batch already started.

quantity

The rest is lost

Drawing goes on as long as an output stays affordable. What is left at the end is worth less than 4 points, the price of a tomato: it is lost by design, never returned.

The all keyword only pours the seeds the Germinator cannot return, the ones worth less than the cheapest draw. A seed named explicitly is poured no matter what.
