saplings within zones
« on: April 21, 2019, 03:01:26 pm »
A zone's plant gathering settings could include an option to:
- ignore saplings
- destroy saplings
- destroy non-fruit-bearing saplings

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

I'd also suggest the ability to plant specific saplings? Maybe include planting patterns? I'd really like to be able to create orchards or tree farms without without micromanaging plant growth.

Having a placable sapling object selected by seeds (expand with x to see individuals and distance) that can be placed would be easier, fruits, nuts, abstract tree seeds, all sorts.

If it were to follow the OP's suggestion, the zone could be maintained (grass and saplings planted and replanted distributed in the zone by ordered controls) by dwarves with a miscellaneous gardening skill who will automatically do the required jobs from within the zone. Harvesting saplings and grass could be done inversely with the same labours in order to collect materials for gardening work.
  • Im not sure what constitutes collecting grass and moss other than physically removing the turf when it is dense, and plastering it over appicable dirt and mud to place a medium length patch. Bamboo as a grass could have further material properties, besides being suitable for pasturing pandas.
Here's a handful some similar threads, mostly regarding tree's within the last 6 years (threads streching to 2007 exist)
