In brief

Windrose palm seeds are a valuable resource to gather by exploring the heart of the islands with an axe. They allow you to grow palm trees at your base and set up automated farming via a farming contractor, or simply to decorate your camp.

Palm seeds turn out to be a valuable resource in Windrose, often sought after for multiple uses. This article covers how to recover palm seeds, as well as their possible uses.

How to find palm seeds in Windrose

It may be counterintuitive, but it's the reality: coastal palm trees are not able to produce these seeds. In fact, these seeds are only found in palm trees located deeper within the islands, that is, right in the middle of the coastal jungle; so there's no other choice but to boldly venture into the inland areas.

Careful: to harvest seeds, you need an axe! To be able to craft one, you need three pieces of wood and three stones, which you can arrange using a workbench. Once you have the axe in hand, it's time to chop down palm trees, which will let you collect seeds.

Back at base, open the building panel by pressing B, access the farming process, select a young palm tree to plant in a suitable spot, and wait for it to grow. Once the palm tree is mature, pressing E will let you harvest its seeds. This will be your first step toward self-sufficient seed production!

Using palm seeds in Windrose

Once you reach Tortuga, these seeds will be used to set up automated farming: simply hire a farming contractor, which you can buy for 10 gold coins, and you'll be able to manage your resources more easily. Assign the contractor 20 silver coins and 50 seeds, and they'll automatically generate resources for over eight hours, freeing you up to focus on other tasks.

These palm trees can also simply be used to decorate your base and make it more welcoming, a fairly relative usefulness, sure, but not one to be overlooked in the merciless world of Windrose...
