Improve pines

[Potjeh]

They take longer than firs to grow, give next to zero branches, and no boughs. They're inferior to firs in every way. I suggest to make pines grow as fast as firs, so they're *the* tree for making large quantities of lumber.

I agree.

They give 3 logs when cut instead of two.

I know that. But you get less logs per day planting pines rather than firs, since they grow slower (twice as slow, by my guesstimate).

[sabinati]

they should give 4-5 logs imo

[Potjeh]

Would be a bitch to grow in walled compounds.

[Avu]

Even if they give 4-5 logs firs are still better because they will have double the q...

[sabinati]

well pine is a shitty wood anyway! realism!

but seriously, what about oak and maple then as well? i don't know the exact growth rates (and lets not forget the last stage is dependent on a decay hit coming at some random time). it does seem reasonable for the 3 log trees to have a growth time 1.5x that of a 2 log tree i suppose, but i don't think they should have the same growth rate.

edit:

well this isn't quite accurate. yes, your pines would probably be a bit lower q, but don't forget the seed is only part of the equation. you would still have to consider the pot, the soil, the water, and the herb table.

[Potjeh]

They have branches going for them. Yeah, I don't think it's worth it either (mostly because q decrease from picking is stupid and needs to die), but at least it's something. Pines got nothing.

I plant pines because I only play on weekends. I put out eight pines or eight firs, either way, I get them all grown up by the end of the week.
