b79 - Does saplings require clear sky access?

In b78 we could make treefarms where the saplings were planted in line, and they grew into a "tree-wall" for easy chopping. I might be wrong/impatient, but this seems to no longer work in b79. I planted a row of douglas firs, and after a while some of the trees grew. But they would only grow such that the leaves are touching, and no "rogue" trees would grow into the leaves of others.

 

I have no idea if this is intended and that the developers frowned upon the tree-wall-farming.

 

(I post this in discussion, since I have no idea if it's intended or not.)

No clue if it was an intentional change or not, but it's very likely that we're going to keep the behavior as-is and call this "bug" a "feature" instead.

Yeah, I thought as much ;)

 

My guess (without looking at the code) is that the leaves now blocks the sky. I tried planting crops under a tree, and they either wouldn't be planted at all, or they popped after a short while.

 

I don't mind having this "feature" at all, I feel the wall of trees were kind of OP :) Now maybe willow trees will get some tree-farming love, instead of douglas first being the king of the crops.

Just to clarify on this: The check is not looking for direct sky access. What the sapling is looking for is enough space to grow. The leaves and logs from the other trees nearby are blocking that space, so the sapling can't grow.

 

So it is still possible to grow trees deep underground, as long as you hollow out a large enough area for them.
