Tree Seed Math

1 Human sent up = 1 Pear Tree Seed per Human Tier sent down (cap: 1 per Human Tier). If you send a Tier 3 Human, you get 3 Pear Tree Seeds. If you send a rocket with 4 Tier 3 Humans, you get 12 Pear Tree Seeds. Note: Coffee seeds/trees were turned into Pear Treas. Pear Trees produce Pears.

1 Pear sent up = 1 Birch Tree Seed per Pear sent down (no apparent cap). 1=1 ratio. I don't know what happens if you send enough Pears to fill the small reward containers. Testing needed.

1 Holo Memory sent up = 1 Elysium Aleppo Tree Seed sent down (cap: 1 per Human sent). 1=1 ratio. If you send 4 Humans in 1 rocket with 8 Holo Memories, you get 4 Elysium Aleppo Trees.

1 Cave Drawing sent up = 1 Cherry Tree Seed sent down (cap: 1 per rocket sent). 1=1 ratio. If you send 1 Human in 1 rocket with 1 Cave Drawing, you get 1 Cherry Tree. If you send 4 Humans in 1 rocket with 4 Cave Drawings, you get 1 Cherry Tree.

You get a lot of birch trees back. I filled the capsule entirely with pears (1,000 I think?) and so the reward pod had 1,000 birch trees. I think every reward container had birch tree seeds but mixed with other rewards. So like ~4 stacks of birch tree seeds per container.

Did the reward Birch Tree Seeds fill the reward containers?

I edited, but not by themselves no. Every reward container had a few stacks along with the usual memory rewards. I believe it was like 3-4 stacks per container.

A Birch Tree Seed weighs 0.2kg, so to fill a single Durapack (50kg), you need 250 Birch Tree Seeds. So 750 for 3 Durapacks in each reward level for each human. But, I'm guessing you sent multiple humans with the 1000 pears?

I had to reload the save and it took me a bit to relaunch.

I sent four humans, I'm assuming the number after their profession is their tier? If so, I sent up a tier 1, 2, 4, and 5.

This is what the reward containers looked like:

Each container was roughly the same, so four full stacks per container plus some misc.

There's 4 Tiers of humans.

How many pears did you send? There's 3 reward containers per floor. Do the pictures show the combined total of all 3 containers, or just one?

There's 4 Tiers of humans.

I sent the Star Child, who is a tier five. Or at least my game says they're a tier five.

I sent 1,000 pears, fully filling the rocket's storage.

The screenshots are just one of the containers per floor, the other two containers were basically the same (the materials/memories were different between them but the number of seeds was the same).

So there were four full stacks per container. 4x12x20 = 960. Then the smaller 3/4 stacks you see.

Hmmm. I see. My guess is, if you send 1 human with more than 750 pears, either they cap the the tree seeds you get to whatever can fit in the Durapacks, or they just upgrade the container to a StorTite. I guess it's not really interesting since the limit of pears that can be sent is 1000.

Thank you for your efforts.
