Replantable trees need to be a priority.

    This is probably the only truely obnoxious "beta" problem I've encountered thus far. The more wood you use, the further you have to walk to find more trees.

    I agree.

    Whilst this is a problem, it could be intentional to try and make people progress onto further planets once resources are running low on one.

    I'd personally suggest a drop of a tree seed/sapling/whatever or two from each tree harvested, but think that once planted, should take quite a long time to grow.
    Maybe make them harvestable after a day or two, but a small amount of wood, and the longer you leave them to grow, the taller the tree gets, and the more wood that drops?
    I don't particularly know, but basically, yeah, I agree with you.

    Honestly, I don't see this as being a big problem. It just means that wood is a nonrenewable resource like coal and iron. Which makes forest planets more valuable to be used as logging camps. Still, later game equipment to replant trees would not go amiss.

    This is a problem in my eyes. There should always be a base-level renewable resource, otherwise bad strokes of luck with finding stuff leaves you stuck.

    When i first started I thought using MM on leaves before you cut it down was how you got it. Apparently there isn't a way... thats not awesome.
    Also, I would like it if there were some way to keep day and hunger bars up at all times, I died one time where my screen went white(ish) and i just started taking damage. Although it might have been a suffocation mechanic, since I blocked myself in a bit.

    white screen means your cold, its not a 'daytime' meter

    It's not a huge problem, but I had to make a second character, as with my first, I tried running in a single direction for 5(ish) minutes and didn't find a single tree on the world. Second character there was trees everywhere, so I guess it was a stroke of bad luck.

    Something I would like to see? Yes

    Something I think is a priority? No

    Bugs, stability and optimisation are the priority right now, trees are everywhere

    Firstly, did you notice I agree with the idea of planting trees?
    Secondly, what suggestion of yours did I step on exactly?

    I'm pretty sure trees can regrow on their own.

    I noticed you can cut down the tree at different levels.. so I've only been chopping down half the tree. . do they grow back if they aren't fully chopped down?

    I hope they eventually let tree regrow if you leave a stump, as well as having the tree drop saplings/seeds like Terraria.

    Eh, not so much for the wood, but I would like to be able to plant trees for aesthetic reasons. I definitely want to make a courtyard in my base, with a couple of shade trees.

    I just sifted through the handful of wikis that I could find, and found no info whatsoever on the topic. Nothing to say one way or another. Does anyone have any sort of data? (Official-ish) I'm going to say that there is no way to replant trees or make new ones grow, but I'd like to know for sure.

    I agree! I mainly want to be able to replant trees for aesthetic purposes, as I don't like having completely open areas around my base.

    Official-ish? Early beta stage, many missing features. I am sure it will be added in a later build

    Has anyone tried growing a banana tree ?
     
  20. I wholeheartedly agree especially from an aesthetic perspective as others have said. I'm fine with exploring the universe to get more resources, but I'm not ok with my home world either being untouchable because I can't plant more trees or a wasteland. I would also love the ability to plant different trees on one planet. While I agree they should be taking care of some of the major bug issues first, I do think it's vital they get this feature in. Part of the beauty of playing a sandbox is playing how you want to play the game. If your passion is farming and building, a lack of saplings can be severely damaging for that style of gameplay.
