Hmm, maybe. But at around the same z axis there are some wild pine trees. I replanted them, lets see what happens. The vid might take a while. Collecting all the wood takes long, and I want to get double the amount of saps from each tree. Only then I will be able to replant again.

Oh, I know it is normal, but i just thought it looked really cool. Weird though that the pine saps don't want to grow.

... and see what happens! I have planted 9 saplings of each tree type in a big, open desert area yesterday (playing on RaiserCraft server). Today, I came online to see if they had grown yet. I was surprised, and sad, to see that they hadn't. So I went on with other work, when all of a sudden trees start to pop out of the ground like crazy. This big, open area turned in a forest in the blink of an eye. All around me, trees popping out of the ground one by one. It was beautiful to see. I will harvest the trees and plant them again, and this time I will catpure it for you. It was amazing . I wasn't able to collect all saplings (you know, with the floating tree sapling bug). Some of them started to disappear. But it was fun all the same. Only the pine trees didn't grow, and one willow because the others blocked the sunlight. I use torches and 5 blocks space in between every tree, but that still didn't help. Here is a screenshot (not nearly every tree is visible here):

It has something to do with the wasteland grass (the dirty grass type). As long as grass doesn't grow on the blocks your saplings are on, any sapling should be able to grow in any area (well, almost any area that is. Don't go too far to the north).

People also thought they saw Douglas Fir, while it didn't even exist.

lol Caves can be really big in TFC, especially the "lava caves". But they are not as rare as I thought they would be. Not as rare as I would like them to be, actually. I hope there will be more "special" stuff underground. New things to discover.

No, no, not at all. I just had a different image in my head. Yours is actually better in my opinion. For some reason, I had Douglas Fir as some sort of christmas tree in my head.

Hahaha, that sounds like a funny bug. It would get annoying after some time though.

And the great mystery of the Douglas Fir has been resolved. I just downloaded B62, created a new world, and TADAAA! I spawned in a Douglas Fir forest. I was kind of surprised by how they look like. They don't look like pine trees at all. That was kind of the look I was expecting. I think the size is awesome. I would love to see more big trees, but not huge trees. Like the size of willows. I know almost every tree has a "big" version with branches, but those are very rare.

So it's a forced choice.

Ah, I thought something like this was the case. That's why I didn't make this thread in the Suggestions section. But to be sure; will it snow in winter when the bug is resolved, even in places where trees still grow (-15500 or lower)?

I noticed that it never snows in TFC. Maybe it does if you go north, where the temperatures are below zero, but no one goes that far north. No trees grow there. Somehow in TFC snow and trees are related; trees don't exist in combination with snow. I think this is a pity. I would love to have snowfall in TFC winter. Snow slows you down, something I quite like. Snow can f*ck your crops up. Snow can make areas look totally different. Snow could cover up ravines and make "bridges" at the side of mountains. You would need to look out, otherwise you could fall to your death. I know this sounds a lot like a suggestion, but I am not sure if it doesn't snow in TFC. I guess the rule is that if the temperature is below zero, it snows instead of rains. If the temperature drops at all in winter (never checked), it will never get below zero. Maybe at some points in the world, but not at a point where trees still grow. A more diverse climate would be cool. The only way to live now is in the same moderate climate. Go too far south and you will only find barren plains. Go too far north and you will only find barren plains, but with snow on them.

- In frozen oceans/rivers, lily pads "drop" on the ice. The same goes for sugar cane in frozen areas. - Blocks that have pebbles/rocks on them don't have snow. This looks weird in snow landscapes. I don't know if this is a bug or if there is just no other way to do this.

No one said we need other ways. I made this thread to ask why we are only spawning south (or north, as it turned out to be). And I got my answer so I guess this thread is done.

I'm not sure what you mean. I thought Bioxx or dunk or whoever had planned to do something about construction, making it more believable.
