TL;DR

Ability to blueprint the trees that were manually placed

What ?

It would be really nice to be able to have a toggle for trees in the blueprint like there is one for the tiles so you could make blueprints with trees that were placed manually since we do have the ability to now place them with seeds.

Why ?

Mainly for decoration and making cool rail blueprints.

TL;DR

ATM we can't ghost place tree seeds for our logi or construction bots to plant for us.

What?

Let us ghost place tree seeds and have our bots plant the tree's this would allow for semi automated tree farms also.

Why?

planting thousands of trees by hand gets tiresome.

That would be nice, but really it's for aesthetic no ? because it's possible to use the agricultural tower if you need "thousands"

I was actually thinking of for nauvis. I like to put trees around my walls in front of my guns similar to as the larger bugs have to path around them. I suppose i could put them all around the outside, but it would still be nice to ghost place them, as the icon is available in the menu and it has a little bitty ghost tree. I understand why they don't want anyone doing it on gleba as that would make the tree planters useless, but to be able to plant normal trees that way would be nice.

The other thing is that because you cant ghost plant them, unless you use the planter towers you can't do anything with trees if you aren't on world/ doing it by hand.

You can use agricultural tower on Nauvis too !

I plant trees between my rails when i take the trains because it's easy and there's no room to place the towers. I would use the ghost planting tree if that was implemented.

The SPACEAGE allows players to use the seeds to plant trees.I love planting enormous trees and I believe not only me love doing this.But
you cant use blueprint to do this which makes planting a lot of trees difficultly.So I sugesst the tree can be planted by blueprint. Thank you WUBE!

Planting Seeds (for decoration) is not blueprintable , it would be really nice to be able to blueprint laying tree seeds.

hope this helps !

+1 Would love to be able to automate expanding my arboretum!

Can robots even plant trees?
Also, you can blueprint an agricultural tower, but it will unfortunately automatically harvest plants...

That just means it will naturally replace trees that were killed by too much pollution.

The real problem with it is the fact that it plants them much less densely than you can do manually.

Would be awesome. Then you could at least try to reverse the pollution that a giga factory causes
