I suppose you are technically right,
 but the overall pattern and shape was the main change.

They'll be growing larger and becoming more varied as I continue work on them.
I've got a few new varieties planned too.

Oh, yeah, and there are bushes.
You can't really tell the difference between a baby tree and a bush,
 and I'm totally fine with that.

Don't coddle and water your plant,
 expecting it to grow and provide materials,
 when it very well could be a shrubbery you brought indoors for no reason.
You see, once trees have more than one part,
 they are impossible to carry without destroying them,
 so you had better bring those trees in young if you want them to grow inside.
Once you have one growing inside,
 it can mature and multiply, making more indoor trees.

That is all planned to be possible later,
 but for now,
 it is being seriously considered to make way for future code.

SOunds cool.
Is the newest version up yet?

[qwertyuiopas]

Will there be a way to stick dirt in the air(attached to other dirt, of course)?

Can grass grow on exposed dirt? Can non-grass dirt erode downstream?

[Hippoman]

I doubt all of those. SO far atleast.

[Outcast Orange]

Not yet, but I would like to think those updates coming up.

I got an ugly bug fixed, and now I'm back to working on trees.

This game looks awesome. 

Exploring was quite a lot of fun... I'm curious about what your eventual goals for the game will be.

[Outcast Orange]

I have no idea.
It's just a hobby project.

I intend for things to get more gamey though.

Okay, here is some progress.

Water acts much better in some situations.
Most notably, water beneath other water will be forced to spread,
 instead of having a random chance to.
This allows caves to flood much better.

Also, much more importantly:

There are cave ins!

They are very primitive right now,
but if you dig rooms too large, the top can fall in.
There are still some pretty ridiculous structures possible,
 if you know how the system works,
 and grand-scale things will hold together without issue,
 but at least in most sensible situations, things will work nicely.

I haven't accounted for materials yet,
 but at some point, stronger materials will be able to support more ridiculous circumstances.

I'll be uploading after I get these blasted trees growing.

Also,  at the moment, I'm going to work on grass regrowth.
There is a very good possibility that grass will spread like fire to any appropriate locations.
I'm not sure I have a problem with it,
 as if the effect is cool enough,
 it should look pretty interesting.

EDIT:
I've solved the grass problem,
 and now grass grows back gradually,
 when there is adjacent grass.
I'm actually pretty pleased with the how it works.

Oh crap... I just thought of something.
I suppose if you got close to the bottom edge of the ground depth in the bluish stuff,
 that the whole map would cave in around you very suddenly.
Well, I suppose I'd better add a few more layers,
 then just hope nobody makes it that far until things are solved.

Hopes are gone.

You mean recoheding the tiles? We did discuss (way back) the possibility of making concrete then using that to stick tiles together, though you will need to support the tile whilst you are doing this.

Whenever I post in this thread,
 I'm going to post in your style,
 Orange,
 it's fun.

[Outcast Orange]

repeat: { <space>,r,r,<space>,e }

Can you please explain this post to me?
The first bit means gibberish to me, then you quote me and sound disappointed.
Is it something I did?

I fixed grass like you asked.

Very well, I think the style of spacing is absolutely charming.

Also, concrete is one of those things on the "coming soon" list.
Tree growth just seems more important right now,
 as there are already tons of ceilings pre-made.
Concrete will make everything much more customizable though.

[alfie275]

I think it is some sort of macro for digging down?

[qwertyuiopas]

Basically, a vertical tunnel, filling it in behind you rather than disposing it outside. The easy way to dig down.

Sweet.
Don't worry, I'll fix the underground issues soon.
I have a secret plan actually.
You'll have to wait and see.
