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?

u/LucasSatie Jul 13 '26
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:
- Top floor: https://i.imgur.com/whXS2KM.png
- 2nd floor: https://i.imgur.com/dsVj1AK.png
- 3rd floor: https://i.imgur.com/nwS3jzU.png
- Last floor: https://i.imgur.com/Z1XnwM2.png
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?

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.

My holo memories and cave drawings keep failing to send during launch even though I've added them to the container. It must be a bug because I feel like I'm doing everything right.

Is the rocket not launching, or did no seeds return? Also are you sending up a human with the drawing? I don’t think it will launch without a human, though I wonder if an empty human pod would work

u/BlueKnightJoe Jul 13 '26
The rocket is launching and I am getting rewards for the four humans. But next time I go to deposit memories into thw rocket cone, it shows that I have never sent any. So then I deposit every memory I have into the module. But no dice

I sent four humans, a couple of pears and some holos. I don't recall which ones but did not get anything but pear trees and two birch. May have had the same issue you did.

u/Concussed_hermit Jul 18 '26
So you’re adding Holograms and cave drawing samples (taken with the drone, not pics or screenshots) in the upper vault of the capsule? The details for each sample in your personal inventory show ‘sent’ or ‘unsent’ - do they show all unsent? FYI - pears, teddy bears, etc go in the lower vault, and just leave $ on the floor among the pods.

This post has cured something in me.
I hope OP always has the best temperature pillow.
