aquatic trees?
« on: December 06, 2010, 08:09:22 pm »

im still a relative noob, ive been playing for about two months. but today i noticed that there are permanent random 6/7 water tiles around the first cavern layer... i thought it was weird so i looked at it with the "k" key and i found fungiwood and tower-caps under the water...

has anybody else seen this in their forts?

Yeah, it's pretty common for some underground trees to be underwater. If there's any significant amount of water, there's bound to be submerged trees.

trees require water
being submerged in water means the trees always have access to water
thus, trees.

1) Are the tress actually "growing" underwater? nothing>sapling>tree or at least nothing>tree
2) Are all the tiles with trees 6/7 or lower or are there 7/7 tiles with trees?

Do I ever know about these ... In one of my forts these things clogged the sewers and caused quite the flood.  >:(

tree's also need sun light, but these are underground plants... But they also need carbon dioxide!

It's a little frustrating. If you flood underground lakes with magma, the tree tiles retain their water. YOu end up having to pump the trees dry just for the sake of completely despoiling the caverns.

i think the trees giant tree like mushrooms are actually growing under the water. when i found the cavern all the water was 7/7 since i noticed them there have been more and more, also they just appear there, as far as i can tell it goes nothing/tree

I flooded a reservior with a brook after having discovered a cavern.  It filled to 7/7 and stayed there for ages until I emptied it to collect a dwarf corpse that'd fallen in somehow.  The entire thing was thick with cavern trees, as if it were a tree farm.
