      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Tree growth in stages

8 posts in this topic

I did a quick search for this and didnt see it anywhere, so in stead of trees going to fully grown in one tick it would take a few stages to get there. these are all loose numbers but i would say around 4 stages for fully grown. Stage 1-3 would be sapling to normal sized tree in around the same time that it takes for trees to grow now (12ish days i think), this is would basicaly make it more interesting while waiting for a tree to grow. The final stage would take much longer maybe 2-3 years but it would result in a old large tree, like the big oak trees in vanilla.

I think that this would give a better sence of age and time passing in game.

 

On a more ambitious note this could be added with natural tree death after a long time to make dynamic forests. I will admit that this would make the game have to keep track of a lot more things over a lot more time.

I've seen this topic come up before. It was a quite a few months ago but the general consensus from the community was that TFC is already tough on people's computers and this wouldn't add enough functional game play to be worth the extra lag. If everyone had a beast PC then I'd be all in favor of this dynamic environment stuff. Unfortunately, thousands of ticking blocks is wishful thinking and will be for the foreseeable future.

Unfortunate but true. We can always dream though.

The new static tree mechanic is already working, it has 6 growth stages where the last stage is a HUGE tree.

All we need now are super nice looking trees :)

I've also setup a server for just that purpose, where anyone that has a great tree idea can present it, and then Bioxx, Dunk, Kitty, ... can decide if it's TFC worthy, or not ;)

The server info is not out yet because everyone should have fun and concentrate on B79 ;)

I was unaware the trees did this already. Is that why trees with big canopies only have a few logs, they just havent grown up yet?

Emris' static tree stuff is working in his custom build of TFC. It is not included in 79

I hear there's at least a site that is dedicated to minecraft tree schematics. Maybe contact them?
