where to look for featherwood?
« on: November 25, 2011, 10:34:45 am »
I have tried embarking on several good biomes, but no featherwood was ever found growing there.
Is there any special demands for featherwood to appear?

Currently, it is impossible to get good or evil aligned trees due to a bug.

Specifically, this bug:

Good/evil aligned trees and farmable plants (sun berries and sliver barb) don't seem to appear in the current version.

You can still get savage woods... If that helps.

The only way to get it with the current version is to alter the raws and generate a new world. The simplest way to do it is to open the plant_standard.txt and remove [GOOD] from the entry as well as adding [FREQUENCY:100] which forces it to show up one hundred percent of the time in the relevant biome. Feather trees don't have a frequency setting which means that they only have the default 50/50 chance of showing up.
