Mineable trees?
« on: January 08, 2010, 09:44:20 pm »

What if there were 3x3 trees (call 'em sequoias) that occasionally would appear in certain environments, spanned many levels, and could be mined to produce sequoia wood?  You could make them much larger, too... maybe in a roughly circular shape of radius 5 or so... and some elves could live in them (unless digging through trees is against their principles?  Is it true that elves sell you wooden stuff while refusing to buy any of yours?  What's up with that?)

Yes, it's true that elves don't trust you to treat trees humanely. They get mad as hell if you try to sell them anything you made from a tree.

This suggestion comes up about once a week. Changing the trees is in the far future as far as we know. It would be really good for everyone if you locked this thread with the botton at the bottom left now.
