does anyone know how you can research water or can it be done? its just im researching seeds at quailty 3 and only produce at q1 because of the water help!

That is exactly the point, water can not be researched, in league with power and stones. Thus you will need to research seed quality to 4, before you can actually produce seeds with the quality 2. That is not a mistake, that is the intention of the inventor of the game, to make it hard(er) to reach higher qualities quickly.

Water, Power, and Stones can not be researched, and always have a Q=0. To get the Q in production, you need to go up another level, a Q2 will yield Q1 with the water. Also, when growing stuff, your seeds have to be at Q level to produce that Q level also.

ohh ok i get it now im just gonna concentrate on researching everything as high as i can and see how it goes.

I would recommend focusing on your specific needs first. Your seeds, obviously, then whatever products you need for your production. It can get quite expensive, and the higher you research, the more time it takes to research to the next level.

ya im selling apples in my shop and thats at q1 and my seeds and corn is at q1 also having researched them all to q3 so im gonna research everyting else to q1 while i dont need them then wen i do decide to sell them i will be able to produce at a greater quality without having to spend ages researching them

I did the same thing, but later I wished I had researched the things I really needed higher, rather than waste resources and time on things I will probably never produce. Research to level 1 is fairly cheap though, so if that is your plan, it should work well for you.

When you get into the more complex items, like cars, tv's, etc... there is a ton of research on various things needed to produce higher Q levels.

With more complex products its nearly impossible to produce all needed parts and keep the quality overall high.

So instead of spending a lot of money on resarch you could just buy needed resources, like seeds, from the market. You can sort by quality, so that the highest quality-ads will be on top. This saves you money on resarching seeds and you don't have to use your plantation to produce your seeds.
Of course buying is more expensive than selfproducing, but it can be more profitable.

i produce seeds and sell them on the market i also produce chickens and apples but hope to just get the research quality of everyting to one and get my seeds and corn and apples to q at least 5

That should not be any problem... it's just a matter of time and how big you're research centers are. Maybe it would pay out for you if you build another plantation research center? It seems as if you emphasize on food and plantation also in the future. So you can expand one of it while researching in the other one.

The first research I built was for plantations, and the first research was on seeds. I experimented with buying seeds from the market, but it was kind of like the 'power debate' thing, I felt that I could produce and research the seeds myself, and eventually, it's another product for my company to sell. When you look at seeds as a product, they aren't bad. Generally higher profit than water or power, and probably as good as most agriculture.

Every company is different, and we all have our own objectives and goals, so it's really a matter of how you look at it. My company is focused on being a major producer of products used to build KapiLands, so high quality seeds will naturally be included.
