Coppicing

Regardless, we still need a to figure out a way to acquire these roots...

The small roots can be harvested with a shovel, because they're weak. And the big (above ground) roots cna be chopped with an axe or a saw. The underground big roots need first to be freed from the dirt, then they need to be harvested with a saw. Correction, now there are 3 types of roots...

Fair enough, I think the big roots should be a saw-only item though.

Or a saw and a metal axe only block, because irl you can cut it with a good metal axe.

Yeah, but it take one strong S.O.B. to do it...and if I remember correctly I saw a post about stat upgrades...and then everyone one was all like "NO!"

Thick roots of a tree is where the hardest wood grows. So maybe thin roots give sticks and thick roots is used for crafting something that requires hardest wood.

Why is is that you and me seem to derail things more often than not?

Because the derails are natural. And now in Italy it's night. During night I have a 78% chance of derailing, instead during day my chance is 26%.

Oh, fair enough....

I tend to use that phrase more often than I intend to.

I'm pretty sure fruit trees will do it, but that's not the best idea. If this is implemented then our orchards will never get too ridiculously large and our chests won't be filled with sticks and saplings because we aren't trying to find saplings in leaves to replace them and it will remove the chance of them not being able to be replaced if we don't get a sapling. The only reason for them to not be replaced is if they die like a crop because that's probably how they will behave.

Yes, I was not intending this change to apply to fruit trees; that would be pointless. I am talking about trees such as Willow, Aspen, and Maple. All of which serve only to provide sticks and wood.Even if trees do die over time as crops do, I still feel this would work nicely, plant a tree, gather a few saplings and sticks the first time, cut it for wood, let it regrow, gather saplings as need be, and so on. Thanks for the thoughts
