When I’m outside and I activate my seeds such as hemp seeds, it is likely that what I want to do is plant them. When I activate these seeds, the game makes me eat them instead, without giving me a confirmation prompt. I am using version 0.9.

You need to [E]xamine a mound of dirt and a menu will pop up giving you a selection of seeds to pick from. They have to be in your inventory, of course.

Actually only the hemp seed are eatable. But yeah, it was a bit confusing. So… I hacked in a function that asks if you are sure when you eat it.
