Option to harvest damaged trees only for agricultural tower

Post by Hagaret »

I would like to use agricultural towers for decoration purposes and to clean up pollution at my Nauvis base. Therefore, I need a way to harvest dead trees only to keep pollution consumption levels at maximum without producing too many logs as a byproduct, and fields of full grown trees looks much better than young ones. So I need a new feature in agricultural tower like "harvest dead trees only".

I was looking for this too. It drove me to make a mod to provide this feature, plus other improvements to the agricultural tower. I just started yesterday, so nothing's ready yet, just thought I'd share.

Could be a setting like turrets' target priorities, that shows kinds of trees it can collect, along with ignore unlisted targets option of course.

For your purposes, I think a timer would suffice, and when it triggers which you enable the tower for a couple of minutes then disable it again.

Incidentally, if you want to clean up pollution, my testing shows harvesting ASAP is the way to go. I'm not sure how confident to be in the way I tested, though, so I suggest someone test it themselves if it matters to them.
