Tree planting specifics.

[sonerohi]

I'm trying to make a nice looking area with some apple and mulberry trees hemmed into individual pockets. Near as I can tell, the fully grown tree needs a 4x4 space. My question then, pertains to which tile on the inner 2x2 does the sprout need to be placed? I.E. would this work if the O was the sprout>

Code: Select all

XXXX
XXXX
XXOX
XXXX

and if not, what would?

[sabinati]

it needs 3x3

XXX
XOX
XXX

[sonerohi]

Are you sure on that? I could've sworn I got stunts with that.

[sabinati]

pretty sure but i guess more room wouldn't hurt

btw

XXXXXX
XOXXOX
XXXXXX

should work, but

XXXXX
XOXOX
XXXXX

won't

[Kahim]

Well to be safe i always go
xxxxx
xxxxx
xxoxx
xxxxx
xxxxx

Thats two spaces in any direction to make sure it doesnt get stunted

Even better your grid should REALLY look like this:

OXXXXXOXXXXXOX
XXXOXXXXXOXXXX
XXXXXXOXXXXXOX
XXXOXXXXXOXXXX
OXXXXXOXXXXXOX

Do it, You'll thank me when it comes time to cut them.

Tree planting and stunting is not related to the tile grid at all. A tree needs, quite simply, three times the area it occupies in order to be able to grow. Three times length-wise, that is -- not area-wise.

[sabinati]

what do you mean length-wise?

[Chakravanti]

Yeah that needs some clarification please loftar

For instance, if a tree's area against the ground is 1.3 x 1.6 meters, then it requires an area of 3.9 x 4.8 meters to grow. That is, unlike requiring 1.3 * 1.6 * 3 = 6.24 m², it requires 1.3 * 3 * 1.6 * 3 = 1.3 * 1.6 * 3² = 18.72 m² to grow.
