Incase you don't play MC, its a mushroom village.

Link appears to be broken...

That's odd, it works fine for me.  Oh well, re-posted on different site below.

I wonder how the trees will grow over tiles, what happens if there's no room?

And will we get deaths like

"Urist McUnlucky has been encased in a growing tree" ?

[nomad]

im still interested in how those roots will work...

will trees stop growing if you mine under them? will they grow roots and fill out small passages?
will mining where toots are produce wood?

so many questions ^^

I don't think you'd want to mine where toots are. D:

I think that the main questions about trees are :

- Speed of growth (it is said that it depends on parameters). To what extent ?
- Types of trees (I suppose it will depend on climate)
- Which role will play roots ? (will the tree die if they are destroyed, will they destroy walls, how deep will they go, will tree cave-in if they disappear, etc...
- How much will trees be usable ? Will they be buildable, will they be jumpable from, will the goblins or whatever creatures actually interact with them, use them ?
- Will eldest tree make a different wood than younger, both in quality and quantity ? (+Elder oak spear+)
- Use of fruits? If it's only a new source of food, then well...there is already A TON of way to food a forteress, and a 9x9 farm can already produce for A LOT of dwarves so...
- Will these many new items bloat the game ?

(If you see other questions...?)

If trees are (like wooden walls) not flammable, the obvious thing to do with them is to hollow them out and make them spew magma.

[GreatWyrmGold]

If they are finally flammable, do so anyway.
Or make marksdwarf towers.

If trees are (like wooden walls) not flammable, the obvious thing to do with them is to hollow them out and make them spew magma.

Imagine it: the Elven traders arrive and see a massive tree so high that it parts the clouds. And then it starts to bleed magma.
Depending on what we're able to mod we make trees so massive we can carve them out and house a fort inside a tree! That and I'm wondering if the foliage will be flammable even if the wood is not (if they're considered like wooden walls).

[GreatWyrmGold]

I am so modding in redwoods...The largest would be dozens of z-levels high...

[gbrngfol]

Ah, we're going to get a whole lot of new tree-types as well. Because there aren't fruit trees yet.
So we'll get apples, pear and oranges etc. But perhaps also grapes? Pumpkins? And coconuts in tropical areas...

There's a mod that gives most of those things and a lot of other plants. A link is here:
