While collecting the seeds of various trees, palms and other such objects I noticed that we're unable to multiplify the number of seeds of several trees, for example A, C, F. Why is that? Trees seed output is like Crown + Number of Branches. While the palms or jungle trees do not have branches, we can only have the same amount as the trees we've cut. Sometimes we find a very beautiful palm, but only ONE specimen. And it is not enough to decorate every party of our home planet with it. This is why i though of this idea. My main idea is to make the Crown drop more seeds than one, so that we could be able to multiply evegreens, palms, jungle trees, mushrooms, another trees like this. As a result - only one seed is enough to have a lot of it's kind in the future. Also i noticed that some trees are able to drop A LOT OF seeds, (mostly Arid trees) because of branches (sometimes 5 branches or even more) so, while the crown could drop 1-2 seeds (or 1-3, it doesn't matter) the branches could drop 0-1 (to balance the amount of seeds, lower them for some trees) I realise that this issue is not very important, but i find it quite good to be implemented. So guys, how do you feel about my idea?
I feel like it was done this way to make farming rare trees harder. I've managed to get every tree in the game I've found to drop at least two seeds at some point. Sometimes they'll only drop one and you'll have to plant it and cut it down again, but they will drop two seeds if you keep at it. Think about it this way, if every single tree dropped many seeds, then the player could just cut down the first Rainbow Palm tree they find and have enough seeds to plant and harvest enough Rainbow Wood to craft the entire Rainbow furniture set. The way it's set up now is a little harder. Perhaps a solution is to be able to plant crop versions of trees, that will be limited to the size of small saplings. These could be harvested for 1-2 seeds and no wood for easier seed multiplying. The player could shift+click and the sapling would be planted as a crop, only plantable on tilled soil.
I see your point, but there is also a plenty of trees that are hard to get even though, they only drop ordinary wood and seeds, for example palms., pinetrees and in their specific biomes they tend to occur rarely and drop only one seed. I haven't noticed tree like F) dropping more than 1 seed. The idea of making 'seeds-giving plants' is good but if rainbow wood, mushroom, or other were to easy to get, the wood output could be lowered, with the increased chance of getting more than 1 seed.
There's Rainbow Wood?! I gotta get on that. I found an eyeball tree once. Super awesome. Anyway, I haven't had much trouble with trees. If anything they're a little too common and can be planted too close together.
Yes, there is Rainbow Biome (occurs on deserts) there are palms like A) , a lot of multicolor flowers and also neonmelons kind of minibiome. I would like also to add, that i like the idea, how crops can be multiplied, there is a chance that on harvest the crop can drop more than 1 seed. And I though that something like this could be with trees.
