Trees

Overview

Trees is a crop that can be grown in your colony. Like all crops, it requires proper soil conditions, adequate lighting, and protection from harsh environmental factors to thrive.

Trees are available to plant on farms starting at the beginning of the game. They are an easy crop to grow with many areas amenable to growing them. As a native crop, they use little in the way of soil nutrients and are more tolerant than non-native crops like wheat.

Trees yield logs when chopped down which is crucial feedstock for fuel production and plank production. Trees should be farmed before all available wild trees are exhausted by the Woodcutter.

Farmed trees are harvested by farmers and woodcutters are not required. If more logs are desired from existing crops, consider activating the stump pulling policy that can yield additional wood when clearing stumps at the cost of approval points.
