Seed Counting Guide
Seeds are our in-group EXP system! You'll be able to obtain these through drawing, writing, or other mediums! Seeds are non-depleting and are account-bound, meaning that when you use them to obtain upgrades, they don't get spent - they stay right where they are!
Seed tracker
(Special thanks to UltharEquinox for providing the coding for our tracker!)
To start earning your seeds, you'll need to grab a seed tracker for yourself! You'll be putting the link to your tracker in the descriptions of each deviation you upload - it looks a little bit daunting, but I promise it's fairly easy!

Step 1: Make a copy!
You'll need to grab your own copy of the tracker before you can begin filling it out. Underneath the name of the sheet, click 'File' and look until you see 'Make a copy', then select that option.

Step 3: Sharing your tracker
You'll need to change the setting to allow Dynachix mods to check your tracker, and here's how!
- In the upper right hand corner of your sheet, click 'Share'.
- In the menu that pops up, look under 'General Access' where it says 'Restricted'. Google sheets are all private by default, so this is the setting we need to change!
- Click the arrow, and under the dropdown, click 'Anyone with the link'.
- Your sheet is now public! Make sure you hit 'Done' when you're finished.
- You can also select 'Copy link' if you need to copy the tracker's link - you'll need to paste this into the description of all your deviations!
Step 4: Filling out your tracker
Having troubles figuring out how to fill out your tracker? Fear not - we'll walk you through it!
- Copy the link to your deviation and paste it in one of the rows under 'Link to Deviation'.
- Type of Art
Next is to determine the type of art! For Dynachix, the 'Type of Art' section focuses solely on the character(s) themselves, so don't worry about counting backgrounds for this section. - Background
The next section asks if your piece has a background. Selecting 'No', of course, doesn't reward any seeds, but having a background on your piece awards you a flat +3 seeds regardless if it's polished or not. - Number of Characters + Gift bonus
This section is fairly simple - just type in the amount of characters shown in your piece! Each character is worth +1 seed. If you include characters in your piece that aren't owned by you, or are NPCs, you can type in the number in the 'Number of Gifts' box! The individual gift bonus is +2 seeds. - Word Count
If you're uploading a literature piece, make sure you type in the amount of words you typed into this box so you can get your seeds! For each 250 words written, it's +2 seeds.
You can use WordCounter to calculate how much you've written!
