Description
Trees can be cut down by using an axe as well as with a myriad of other tools. Sprouts can be picked from trees using a sickle, and can be used to plant new trees elsewhere. Trees that are left sprouting long enough will plant sprouts nearby on their own.
There are different types of trees, primarily grouped by their lumber production. Non-lumber trees can be harvested while in season, usually with a sickle. See the seasons article for specific harvest times.
Tree Types
Lumber Trees
Lumber trees give large amounts of wood when chopped at an old age. Most types of wood also have special properties.
- Birch - Birches are relatively common and grow quite fast. Often used as an alternative to pine.
- Cedar - Items made of cedarwood decay slower than other items; also good for arrows.
- Pine - Pinewood has no special properties, but pines are abundant and grow fast.
- Oak - Oakenwood items yield no inherent bonuses, but are often a signet of wealth due to their rarity. An oak will kill other trees within 1 tile.
- Willow - Willow wood is good for bows and fishing rods. Items made from willow wood are suspected to damage faster. A willow will kill other trees within 2 tiles.
Fruit Trees
Fruit trees have fruits which can be harvested during harvest season, but they give very little wood. They are also notorious (with the exception of Olive trees for spreading incredibly fast and removing potential growth locations for other trees with more utility.
- Apple - apples
- Cherry - cherries
- Lemon - lemons
- Maple - maple sap (using a container, like a bucket - not a sickle)
- Olive - olives
Bushes
Bushes don't give any wood at all when chopped down. Like fruit trees, they can also be harvested.
Notes
- Trees generally take several weeks to grow to "old" or "very old", which are the prime types for cutting. Oak is known to take several months - in some cases, years to reach old age.
- Trees infected by mycelium do not produce fruit.
- Old and very old trees give a felled tree when chopped down. Other age groups give a log.
- If a tree is left long enough with enough of the same tree in the immediate area, it can wither from very old to the 'old and shriveled' status. Shriveled trees yield no fruit and shriveled lumber trees yield wood similar to that of a fruit tree.
