I love the way everyone is like 'hey, we can plant trees! we're invincible!'

It is nice to see it added, though. :)

It's a little odd that planned server restarts result in losing data. You'd think you could shut down the listen socket, disconnect all connected clients, halt all the running threads except the main one which is handling the shutdown, and then save the world and characters now that nothing can modify them while they're saving, and only then exit - rather than just exiting without saving.

Yes, one would think so. The problem is that, as I wrote elsewhere, there's some bug razing malloc fences or the like, which sometimes makes the server crash on shutdown.
