Just a quick question.

If I removed all trees from the game, would there be no forests, grasslands, etc.? Or would there still be "Forest" biomes, but no trees in them?

Sounds like a need for !!SCIENCE!!

My guess: There would still be forest biomes but yeah with nothing to use in them.

I however fully expect I might be way wrong and it'll never make it out of world gen successfully.

If I were trying to do this I'd probably (rather than move/delete whole files) set all trees to frequency 0.


Of course I have no idea what your plan is... so... what's the plan Dr Necro910?

Actually, I believe I've done this !!Science!! by accident already.  I was experimenting with modding and was using my plants RAW as a randomly-chosen file to hold text that I was performing find/replace operations on, and wound up accidentally saving, obliterating all plants.  Forgetting about this later, I genned a world to test something else, embarked and found no trees in the forests, and dorfs that had never known the taste of alcohol because no brewable plants existed.

So there are "Forests", but they have no trees? lolz.

I think the "forests" will have no trees but whatever forest creatures will be here.

Forests are defined by medium-low elevation, high drainage and high rainfall. The trees aren't a necessity.

Though removing the trees will probably crash your game...

Nice. This works out perfectly.
