Remove Tree Stunting?

Post by Onep »

As I was pruning my grove, I was thinking to myself: why is tree stunting a thing? Crops don't stunt and are significantly easier to manage. Trees and bushes on the other hand require you to have located high quality clay, soil and water. The water and soil also being necessary to regularly acquire more. Not only do they require more investment in creation, they take longer to produce than any non-trellis crop, assuming you have the suitable forest biome in the area you're planting, which can take weeks to fill in. Another kicker is that if your non-nut/berry tree stunts at almost any point you lose everything receiving poor quality wood and no seeds at all. Losing a top-notch seed when you only get two seeds per tree can be rather lame.
Not to mention that clearing old trees out takes an age and a healthy chunk of your energy bar.

Perhaps upon achieving Druidic Rite the success rate could become 100%? Or maybe we could have another tier skill for the 100%?

p.s.
This isn't asking for stunting crops. Don't even consider it.

At very least allow stunt tree grows slowly. But yes I think this stunt is not a need for me at all.

I would be happy to see a skill to reduce tree and bush stunting chances.

To 0% or just lesser?

Could be a whole chain all the way till no stunting, like a branch of Drudic or something, same thing, cuts stunting a small amount with the first, got a mid one that cuts stunting to like 75% not happening, to the full 100% nothing stunts.

I wouldn't be opposed to stunted trees eventually finishing. One of my pet peeves is that a several of the decorative trees in my plot have stunted. They've been sitting there for a few months taunting me.

The forestry, gardening, plant lore and druidic rite do all reduce the chance of stunting, just not entirely. My hopes would be for a final skill to completely reduce it or to allow druidic rite to do so.

Yeah I would really like once you get druidic rites for stunting to be gone. At the very least I like the idea of instead of stunting for the tree/bush just to take a lot longer to fully grow.

Perhaps a variety of hearth magic that will remove the stunted status of a tree? Maybe a crafted item to remove stunting, such as a fertilizer?

I think that's a good one. Mid-tier hearth magic that you learn from Druidic Rite that allows you to un-stunt a tree.
