Clearing Dead Trees
« on: May 07, 2008, 09:28:00 pm »
Is there any way to clear the dead trees/saplings/shrubs that dot the map?  I'm trying to plant some farm plots and there are a couple in my way.  I've tried everything I can think of and can't seem to get rid of them.  Thanks!

That might work for trees, but it doesn't seem to work for saplings and shrubs...

You may be able to harvest shrubs. For the trees, I have no idea.

Nope, can't harvest dead shrubs.  Ah well, it says something in the wiki about how heavy traffic can stomp out shrubs and saplings, maybe I'll just designate my farm plot as a meeting place and get everyone to tromp it flat  ;)

building a road over shrubs and saplings remove them (Ive just finished building the wagon road to my depot), shrubs should be gone when you remove the road.
