Reduce the time of tree growth

Post by LukasAlexander »

It is possible, please, reduce the time of growth of the trees? 7 days is too much and then you end up on deforested large areas

Fir and apple take a lot longer than 7 days to mature right?

Don't you have enough clogs?

And I disagree too. With infinite maps, trees will never completely disappear. They'll just become scarce in civilized areas without proper management, which should be resolvable via trade - especially if you live near a river. And god knows we need more causes for trade.

On appropriate terrain, it's 7 days to the next-to-last stage for all trees, then a random amount (1 decay tick) to the final stage.

With regard to the OP - in some ways, I like things just the way they are - it rewards foresight, and makes there be a penalty for clear cutting. I do support the suggestion that new trees should sprout spontaneously in areas that are truly forested (not just forest terrain).

Appropriate terrain = grass right? How long is a delay tick?

Forest for firs, grass for apple and mulberry trees.

For apples and mulberries, grass is appropriate terrain.

The decay tick is variable - basically there's a function that runs periodically and picks random locations to age. If you've got a chest-basket-palisade-etc. there it takes damage. If there's a not second-to-last stage tree there, it becomes fully mature.
