InThe Planet Crafter, thestage after Flora is Trees. However, players end up wondering where all the trees are since wild grass appears everywhere while wild trees only grow in a couple of very specific locations. And though flower seeds are everywhere in wrecks and chests, tree seeds are in much shorter supply.
The trick is thatThe Planet Crafterplayers have to craft trees and tree seeds for themselves. It’s a simple process, but players first have to know what that process is. That’s why this guide will focus on teaching playershow to create and use tree seeds.

The DNA Manipulator
The key machine players need for crafting tree seedsis the DNA Manipulator. This piece of equipment unlocks at 700 MTi, which is also when the Flora stage ends, and the Tree stage begins.
Players also need Tree Spreaders to make use of tree seeds, and the first of those unlocks at 45 tons of biomass. These two milestones can happen in either order, which is why some players end up wondering what they’re supposed to do with Tree Spreaders.
To use the DNA Manipulator, players must combine a flower seed withtree bark and mutagen. Players can craft mutagen in the Biolab, and they can get tree bark from the Biodome T2. If players aren’t certain how to get tree bark, they can get it from the computer displays on either end of the Biodome, although it takes a few minutes to generate new samples.
Once players have the correct ingredients, they can add them to the DNA Manipulator by clicking on the monitor with the DNA symbol. After that, simply click “Research,” wait for a second, and then click “Start Sequencing.” A few minutes later, players will get a tree seed.
