I'm looking at on_robot_built_entity and on_built_entity , but it seems there isn't an event that runs when the agricultural tower plants a tree. - It would be nice to have for controlling the properties of planted trees.

This would allow, for example, if a mod wants to change properties for a tree entity based on the soil it's planted on.

This would be nice to have.

Right now, the best we can do is scan the area around agricultural towers, which is how Diversitree works, but an event would be a big improvement.

Does a created effect on tree not work?

Works great, actually! Thanks.

I guess that works, I was struggling to understand the api docs. - It's probably enough to use triggers then.

Still seems like an event would be helpful, since it would presumably pass the tower that did the planting and save needing to find it.

In fact, if the event also passed the item that was planted, that would allow for quality plantables - you could check if the seed was quality and if so replace the tree with a quality tree.

The tower is a good point, in case there is overlap.

Seems to me like you should instead ask for plants to have quality.

Seems to me like you should check the Not Going to Implement forum, unfortunately.

You mean viewtopic.php?f=221&t=124708 ? That would be funny, because boskid all but spelled out what I suggested.
