Seems like we're losing things faster than we're gaining things. No more trees now?

[skullywag]

I would have preferred the trees dont grow under roofs option to stop people growing em underground. Im in the camp of i used it for beautification.

[warden]

I hate complaining but yeah, i don't think removing fertilizer pumps and tree growing is a good idea. All it really does is make me dig up mods that allow me to place soil floors and such. More mods = more conflicts = more trouble for the player. I like keeping my mod collection as light as possible. I'd prefer having pumps and tree farms behind a heavy research wall than removed completely.

It's not so much the removing of things as it is that we seem to be losing more things than we're gaining. Development seems to have gotten a bit subtractive as of late. What things are we GETTING?

A10 was going to be labelled an AI and general fixing stuff update last i heard. Im sure he'll add a whizbang feature before its done though, he cant resist.

Yes, but these are just fixes to things which already exist. The number of actual things to DO is apparently shrinking. No more fertilizer pump. No more tree farms (why no more tree farms? We farm trees in real life...). Are we getting actual things to DO at some point, or will features just disappear one by one?

Can someone explain what's the point of making trees non-sowable ? In my newbie eyes wood is the most common material, it's not durable and poses a fire hazard (I stopped putting wooden floors around wind turbines). You can't build anything serious with it. It's good for furniture, floors and doors where security is not a concern. But otherwise ? It seems wild plants will grow a little slower in A10.

Why would people sow trees in Rimworld ?

[lusername]

I'm not really clear why, either. You can plant trees in real life, and people do precisely this. The main reason to sow trees is because people like trees, and because it gives you a renewable resource of cheap input material.

[Shinzy]

well the trading becomes more meaningful
farming trees in the desert was way op
though I'm gna miss being able to plant them for decorative purposes

smaller log yield mite have been better than just taking them off entirely

[b0rsuk]

People keep saying stuff like "smaller log yield", but we all know what it means. You'd have to plant MORE trees to compensate.

building huge enough areas that support them will take lot of resources and time though! (in a desert and tundra)

[Mihsan]

Can someone explain what's the point of making trees non-sowable?

Wood economy is broken. Wood is unlimited, cheap and easy to get even in desert or tundra. Wooden crafts/arts are super profitable. Wooden floors are not valued.

[ShootyFace]

Why not make it so in order for trees to grow, they need to be 'maintained' as they grow by a colonist? Would keep people from growing huge tree farms, I would think.
