new tree/vegey data entry which'll be ongoing up to the release

Is this the kind of thing which could reasonably be e.g. outsourced to the modding forum for players to do? Assuming it's sufficiently time-consuming to be worth the bother.

i would like if you do that because then we would get new raws

The elf caravan rolled in with .... some grown oak items that won't make them angry if you try to resell them later.

FUCKING. FINALLY.

[Cruxador]

with some of their largest trees 30 tiles across now.

Well, that's big. But how tall are they? By all logic trees that wide should be like a thousand Z-levels tall, but that sounds likely to cause technical issues. On the other hand, a tree that's not substantially taller than it is wide would be far too silly.

I'm assuming something like a baobab tree.

[mendonca]

That tree is ridiculous.

Unless I'm seriously misremembering something, DF adventure mode has a scaling ceiling.  You wouldn't notice it unless you try to play as a flying adventurer, but the invisible upper limit of play changes depending on where you are, so that if you fly along the top you sometimes have to fly downwards to be able to continue.  So elven sites having 100+ extra z levels on top wouldn't be impossible within the current system, although it would likely be annoying to climb a tree that tall.

[Jheral]

Imagine building a fortress in an area with trees that high, though...

[hermes]

That tree is ridiculous.

Heh, that is crazy, never seen that before.  Coconuts and mangoes and grown oak items?  I never know why but it's these small things I love about DF.

Well, they are elves, they can just magically grow silly trees and forget about logic.

[Neonivek]

Baobab is also poisonous if I remember correctly.

[LordBaal]

Perhaps he's not talking about the main trunk but the.. what's the word... canopy or something, you know, the tree could be something like 20 levels high but on level 17 the branches are 30 tiles wide.

[Mel_Vixen]

Toady can we have some screenshots of the eleven retreats?

Ok now we have grown stuff which is kinda cool. Will that include weapons?
Furthermore will these weapons be better then weapons carved out of wood?

The only thing i miss in the vegetation update is the ability to plant (maybe in combination with pots) trees but i can wait for that a bit longer.

[LordBaal]

How I missed that! Finally, now that we have an option to give wooden items to the elves that do not offend them, slapping their faces with items made chopped wood will be even more gratifying, rewarding and fulfilling. Especially if said items are weapons in the hands of a soldier.

[CaptainArchmage]

Now that elves produce nuts and fruit from trees, can dwarves also harvest these items?

If the largest elf retreat trees are 30 tiles across, how high do these trees grow?

Will we now be able to trade clear or crystal glass with the elves, if the wood components used are the grown ones?

Do elves use wagons now? You say "the caravan rolled in" in the devlog.
