Lesser update: Barter stand

[Chakravanti]

Do you really think coins should be useful for trading just because they're called "coins"?

Is this a clever slight at modern civilization?

No, rather a slight at people's weird conceptions of money.

The placement algorithm could use some refinement, I saw a sapling on a cliff. Also, it'd be neat if trees didn't spawn on claims, I sure as hell don't want q10 saplings stunting my high q trees.

Horay for re-growing forests!

Do they spawn on a claim like Potjeh said? If so, that will be a problem...

I don't think you have to worry about that too much; the spawning of trees is subject to a number of checks that make it unlikely for them to be spawning in player-planted areas (to begin with, they only spawn on forest tiles). It is true that the placement check would benefit from some more love, though. I'll have to think about how to best go about implementing it, however.

Looks like grassland is spawning on clear cut areas. This is good because I was worried about new trees destroying the paving under my walls.

Loftar, any thoughts on making items for sale in vending stands visible on top of them?

Also, I like the new graphics for the stands. They don't need a whole lot to tell them apart.

If at all possible, I'd prefer not to touch the vending stands at all. Their code sucks. Originally, I was actually planning on replacing them entirely with the barter stands.

My tree farm is on forest terrain.

As for placement, maybe you should check if there's room for the tree to grow fully. Give nearby immature trees exclusion radius as if they were fully grown.

Well, yes. Naturally. :)

The problem is the purely technical one of getting that information to the decay routine in a maintainable manner.

made myself this until the model gets changed

loftar the metal goes over the sign for some reason :V
