Trees are structures that consist of wood and leaves. There are four species of tree – oak, pine, birch and kapok.
Structure[]
Trees differ widely in height, from a minimum of 1 meter of wood for shrubs, ranging up to a maximum of 30 meters for kapok trees.
Tree canopies are composed of leaves and branches, and grow 1 meter higher than the trunk (except for the giant oak, whose leaves grow 3 meters higher). The canopy starts from the ground and goes up to 6 meters from the ground. Tree canopies are generated from spherical clusters of leaves and branches approximately 6 meters across, centered on sections of the trunk. Branches must be supported by an adjoining trunk (or branches connected to the trunk), otherwise they will fall off.
Branches are sections of wood connected horizontally, vertically or diagonally to the trunk or other branches. In most cases, a single tree will have at least six branches, and each branch will be one to six meters. Smaller oak, kapok, birch, and spruce trees (regardless of size) have thinner branches.
Growth and Characteristics[]
Trees are added when a map section is generated, and can also grow from planted tree seeds.
Tree seeds have a 1⁄20 chance (1⁄40 if they are kapok seeds) of dropping from branches when they rot or are broken off. There are four species of seeds, corresponding to the four main trees: oak, pine, birch and kapok.
