Saplings?

12 posts in this topic

Hi, 

 

so I am playing in my world for 2 ingame-years now. 

I started out near a forest. I cleared out a big chunk of the forest by now, but no saplings or trees appear. 

I have to cut leafes with a scythe and replant them manually. 

 

Were the self-planting saplings taken out of the game, or do i just have to wait longer?

What's the average temperature of the forest you are living in? Is tall grass regrowing, or is that not happening for you either? There was a change to make it so that saplings and tall grass only regenerate in areas with a temperature above 20.

Thanks for the fast reply!

 

I just checked my average temperature. Its 17.44 

No tall grass is growing either. Thats good to know. I'll pack my bags and move to a warmer climate i guess :D

 

By the way, as far as i know you are managing the wiki too, right? 

This information would be helpful, if it was on the trees/wood page.

 

Thanks!

Edit: Would sapling spawn during summer if the temperature is over 20? Or is id dependant on average temperature?

It's the temp at that time, so if you have warmer summer, grass and saplings will grow.

So, i've moved to another (warmer) location. 

I've spent a whole summer next to a forested area. again i cleared a bunch of trees to feed my hungry bloomery. 

Tallgrass is regrowing, but i have yet to see a sapling spawning. (Hickory and sequoia)

 

Another question:

Does the biome spawn the saplings or do grown trees spread them?

The trees that were there on world gen determine the sapling spawn, not the trees currently there.. so Biome would be the closest answer.

 

Keep an eye out for those saplings and I'll take a look into the code when I get some free time.

With this states that in places like Sweden tree will never spread and regrow lol

After double checking the code, the saplings require a temperature >20 as well as line of sight directly up to the sky in order to generate, while tall grass just requires the warmer temperature and and a high enough rainfall value.

Semi-related sapling question: Is it intentional Acacia trees do not provide saplings (like Kapok)?

Yes. You can check the FAQ page: http://terrafirmacraft.com/faq.html for the reasoning behind it.

 

Oh I understand the reasoning behind it when I checked on Kapok. But given Acacia was newly added and there's been a noted glitch or two about them and their planks, I just wasn't sure :)

So saplings are able to spawn after all. Thats good to know.

I am producing steel by now, my save is about 15-20 hours old. Never saw a sapling that I didnt`t plant.

 

Just to be sure: I know sequoia doesn't drop saplings when you break the leaves, but they are able to spawn naturally right?
