Will the update to trees also include dangerous plants like giant fly-traps and strangling vines?

Those don't quite fit the things Toady mentioned in the dev-log ("multi-tile trees (including roots and properly-sized mushrooms), fruit, flowers, climbing and jumping"), so it is unlikely. Not impossible, but unlikely.

Mostly because that requires a plant rewrite and creature rewrite AND combat rewrite.

Afterall stationary creatures arn't... really dangerous in Dwarf Fortress as they are right now.

AND combat rewrite.

You mean the separation of attack speed and movement speed? The one that is inside this coming release? (Unless I am drastically misremembering)

Wait, we're gonna get to play with more than 1 tile? Awesome

On a more serious note, looking really good, can't wait to see what chopping them down is like ^^

I uploaded the second one onto DFMA, so you can all see what the trees look like sideways.

You're awesome. I was wondering what they looked like up close.

Loving the trees so far.

When you say which branches are safe to climb on and which aren't does this take size into account?

Cheers Japa! Much easier to look at them in general through the DFMA interface.

[Bralbaard]

the 1/4 tiles are branches heavy enough to climb (but they still have some leaves),

I wonder if trees look different if you are a bronze collossus, or something else that should not be supported by these thin branches. An elf might be able to climb anywhere resulting in all tree leaves being 1/4 tiles..

Edit, aack ninja'd

Will the new, larger trees be dangerous to chop down in any way? What, if any, safety precautions will be needed to ensure safe harvesting, both of wood and (hopefully) fruit?

Will climbing be implemented in any other respect, or will it just be restricted to trees for now? What, if any, mechanical differences will there be between climbing and going up a flight of stairs/walking?

Also, I find it hilarious that the 1/4 tiles now actually have a use. Never saw that coming :p

[stolide]

How does combat while climbing work? (Can we throw things while climbing?)

Can we sneak while climbing?

Do all trees grow the same way?

Are trees the only things that we will be able to climb?

[Vattic]

Do all trees grow the same way?

For now but by release there will be different sets of rules that determine their growth and many parameters will be exposed to the raws so we can customise them if we like.
