What is the no seeds bug?

The no seeds bug, was a bug that caused the game to lag/hitch every second, when the Botanist employee(s) had no seeds in their supplies.

What caused it?

The bug lies in the Botanist class, in the UpdateBehaviour method. Inside of this method, there is a check to see if the employee can access the point, before checking if there are any seeds in the supply. This caused the game to calculate the navigation path to the point, even if there were no seeds in the supply.

How does this mod fix it?

This mod puts a Prefix patch in front of the GetPotsReadyForSeed method. This patch checks if there are any seeds in the supply, before getting the pots ready for seed, effectively skipping the navigation check when there are no seeds in the supply.
