Trees !

[Ilnor]

I haven't played since like 0.8.x something around there

I hit up this new update
TREES EVERYWHERE !
I love the way the trees look, but my last 10 restarts had me surrounded in trees

*edit*
I do like them, there are just so many !

Yeah, it is quite extreme sometimes. Maybe it would help to reduce the "mining" time to make it easier/faster to clear a bigger area?

use robots to clear trees

I was very sad that 0.9 removed the new game options to control the number/density of forests.

However, I also learned that trees reduce pollution, so that's a good thing when you're playing in non-peaceful mode.

This seems biome related to me. The desert areas seem like they have a lot less trees. It this is true, maybe it could be applied to other resources, rocky areas may have high concentrations of stone for example.

Trees are a blessing and a curse.

On one hand,they significantly mute your pollution output, and are an ample supply of early game fuel.

On the other, they can severely limit your buildspace before construction robots become available, are a nuisance to clear, and offer no real protection from biters who will path through the labyrinth.
