Collector Seed

Collector Seeds are one of the types of seeds produced by the Trees in Obduction. The player and the all members of each Species were brought to their respective Cell by these seeds. In the beginning of the game in the Forest, one can be seen streaking in the sky with a bright trail of blue light. The seeds come in pairs, one in the cell of one species, the other searching for a new member of that species in their World. It is assumed the seeds only "collect" a new member when they are close to death. The search time varied in length, ranging from hours to years. The inner core is spent and destroyed upon use.

The seeds also swap a small sphere of whatever is around the New Arriver, much like the Seed-swap devices. The people in Hunrath took the seed, whenever one dropped, and placed it in the Entry Canyon.
