High q trees making trash q offspring

[Ants]

I planted a bunch of high q trees in the wildrerness hoping they would eventually produce good q offspring, but instead I'm getting garbage q10 babies.

Are you saying that randomly spawned trees are always 10q?
That might be intentional?

I'd call it an oversight of there going to be a few people that might just want to plant random decent trees in the wild. It does make a good "feature request" as a means to raise the overall world quality similar to how the quest reward works.

Then again, it might be that if you want to see people finding q200 trees in the wild, you should have to plant and cultivate them yourself. Random breeding tends to bring things back into the standard deviations of life.

Newly spawned trees are always descendants of other trees. You can tell because if you plant a bunch of trees in a biome where they're not normally found, more of the same species will spawn. The new ones will always be q10, even if their parents were q900.

It should definitely be a feature, imo. Artificial forests are sometimes more convenient than tree farms inside village walls.

Problem with this is that you would be able to generate quality wood for free, not sure if we really want that.

It should clearly be of a reduced quality, but I don't know that you can disagree that the offspring of a q800 tree being q10 is mildly silly.

A q800 tree is silly, no offspring needed.

They breed really slowly and I doubt most players would bother planting forests of high q wood since if you do that, it's easy for noobs to chop down your trees before they have the chance to reproduce. I'm only getting away with it because it's late in the world and few people are playing. I can't see an epidemic of free high q wood any time soon.

There's also the fact that the quality of things raises quickly in this game. By the time someone found a forest of q400 trees, the top q trees would already be q600. It would be a small boost for noobs but nothing that would unbalance the game, imo.

Haha yea after over 2 years of constant game-play and quality pushing, how dare people have nice things. We should just cap wood at 100 so people can quit after 4 months.

Maybe we should really try something like this, as we (that includes you) should have learned empirically by now that not capping stuff relieably leads to a good amount of the posts in viewtopic.php?f=40&t=57497
