Tree: Difference between revisions

Certain trees are native to certain climates. Bamboo, acacia, kapok, ebony, and purpleheart can be found near the equator, but not in very cold regions.

Larch can be found in cold regions, or high in the mountains.

Trees and bamboo are propagated by planting seeds. When placed on any {{ll|soil|soil}, the seed will take 1 day to grow into a sapling, and anywhere between 5 and 28 days to grow into a tree or bamboo provided weather conditions are ideal. When trees/bamboo are harvested, seeds drop rarely. To acquire more seeds, break the leaves manually before cutting the tree/bamboo. Survival has a default setting of 2x growth duration for trees.

=== Special Cases === <!--T:93-->

When the player needs wood, trees are best harvested using an {{ll|axe|axe}}.<br>

When the player needs sticks or seeds, the foliage of the tree should be broken first. Breaking leaves with {{ll|shears|shears}} harvests foliage blocks in a 3x3 area. A pair of shears does not itself raise the drop probability for saplings; however they allow faster harvesting than breaking every block by hand. Keep in mind that felling the tree with an axe without prior de-leaving will lower the drop chances of seeds for the remaining foliage.

When the player wants saplings, wait for a seed to grow into a sapling, and break the sapling.

All wood items can be used as {{ll|fuel|fuel}} and logs will burn for different lengths of time, depending on the wood type.

Logs can be converted into {{ll|boards|boards}} using a {{ll|saw|saw}} or {{ll|firewood|firewood}} using an {{ll|axe|axe}} in the crafting grid.  

Redwood logs are obtained only from the branches of Redwood trees. Chopping the trunk of a redwood will instead yield Redwood quarter logs, with bark on only one of the surfaces.

====Special Use Drops==== <!--T:230-->

Pine/Acacia: Trees generate resin that can be harvested by clicking with {{RMB}} and used as an essential component in {{ll|Armor|wood lamellar armor}} and {{ll|windmill|windmills}}. Pine and Acacia trees are currently the only trees that yield this product.

====Special Use Logs==== <!--T:231-->

Oak and acacia can be added to water to make weak tannin and strong tannin, essential components in {{ll|leather working|leather working}}. Oak and acacia logs are currently the only logs that can be used for this process.

Logs stack to 16 and can be transported in the player's inventory or stored in stationary containers, but may not be stacked on solid surfaces (though log products including boards and firewood can be stacked on solid blocks). Seeds and sticks stack to 64 and can be transported in the player's inventory or stored in stationary containers. Saplings may also be stored in {{ll|Flowerpots|flower pots or planters}} for base decoration.
