Any 2x2 tall tree sapling - for artifical forests and reforesting in survival multiplayer

[heptagon_ru 23]

Please add any ability to get significant amount of at least one type of saplings, which grow into a beautiful enough 2x2 tall tree.

This will allow creation of nice artificial forests with more tree types in late survival.

And nice reforestation on multiplayer servers. 

To keep wood harvesting balance, these threes could generate sticks instead of logs when chopped Or some other less useful resource

 

This ability could be available only in the end-game, e.g. a red steel scythe could give special saplings

from pine, which will grow into huge trees if planted 2x2, like in vanilla. Or the ground should be farmland and with fertilizer.

 

Or this could work only for players who really care about trees and spend lot of time and care growing them. But I don't know how to implement this, what could be a care meter Never cutting a wild tree, only the ones you planted yourself? Or rate cut/planted < 1 ?

 

This will also allow additional goals for some people who finished steel tech.

 

Also probably for some people it could be a good reason to reach top steel at all. E.g. I don't see much need in it - everything can be achieved without it and tool performance is pretty close, especially considering steel costs.

 

Some people like to play by reaching steel asap, making great builds, etc. I hope there are other people like me, who fancy reforestation and making artificial forests.

 

Despite this suggestion resembles multiple old ones, I hope it approaches the topic from another side and is still original.

And I found the resource this new tree could drop: it's saplings only :-D Silly, right? Well, at least I gave it a shot ))

If you get douglas fir trees and put them in a 2 by 2 area, they will grow to a big tree. And they drop saplings .

 

But it would be nice to have 2 by 2 trees that grow with just one sapling, too.

Awwww, I wanted to write about it, but skipped 2x2 duglas fir trees are not big enough. But yes, since the probability of this suggestion to be accepted is low - it's a good workaround.
