This resource patch is totally covered in trees. This was common long ago, but I thought it was supposed to be impossible now?

Thanks. I looked into it and this seems to be working correctly. Resources only prevent trees when within the defined max-distance-from-spawn. In this case that's 1024 tiles from spawn and this patch is 1259 tiles from spawn so it doesn't remove trees.
