deforestation

[Grey-fox-13]

I´m just curios am i the only one running into large planes of chopped trees (with the logs and stumps still intact) or is it happening everywhere?

And does anybody have an idea why somebody would go on a tree killing spree? (as from my observation it seems to be a quite commong behavior)


an example of what i mean:

Is chopping trees really that rewarding?
The stamina consumption should be quite high and making stuff out of boards and blocks you get from one tree have a higher lp/stamina rate or am i wrong there?

Grinding trees is actually a very valid method to get your first lp with grinding tea pots or kuksas no longer being an option. So nothing noobish about it, we must have clearcut half our supergrid by now. It will be RoB all over again, only this time on all supergrids.

I agree,there isn't much option with this "branch restriction" which is a bit harsh, as well as the "don't touch the clay spots except for legit need" rule. I've done quite a bit of clear cutting in my area as have our other citizens, however, we have a rule about NOT cutting the logs or fruit trees and not clearcutting too close to town (as branches are needed). As long as the wood (logs/stumps) remains untouched until needed for legit building or usage I see no problem with clear cutting DUE to the current new resitrictions, it is indeed about the most logical way of LP grinding now. No clay-item grinding, branch-item grinding, bark-item grinding = clear-cutting.

Answer : get your farmers to begin replanting forests as soon as they have the fibre for tables and a few tree pots.

I've been grinding teapots with no real trouble. Our river is full of 15ish clay spots. Grind till depleted, move fifty or so tiles downriver in the boat, repeat. Fishing catch rate seems a lot higher too, so water+food keeps the stamina up.

Just out of interest, how good IS tree grinding? And do you just cut the trees and move on, or do the logs too?

So you will move when all clay has been depleted because there is nothing left to build walls, kilns, ovens or smelter with? Also others do not have your luck, while we are having plenty of clay ourselves there seem to be many spots on the map where clay is totally rare.

Cutting down a tree gives you 180lp at full change/peaceful. I never bother with cuttin the logs into something. There is plenty of trees after all, so just wander around and cut one after the other.

This is most likely a temp spot, so yes to the moving

It regens, though, right? At least I thought it did. Now I'm worried.

thanks for the info on trees, though.

Tree farming is indeed going to play a more prominent role in the new map.

If you're a noob you're going to have trouble finding trees that aren't claimed and locked away behind a pallisaide
