Trouble with the Trees

I know we will be able to gather seed and plant them on a farm to grow material to use in crafting, but I'm curious as to if we will be able to plant trees? There are many reasons for this, to repopulate areas cleared from harvesting, to use for decoration around your property, to plant a Druid grove or even to use strategically to form buffer zones, to channel players as they approach your town or property.

The game Archeage has this and I thought it would be cool to have it in SotA.

 

agree with OP

 

I can think of another use too, for easy harvesting for lumberjacks.

I also think... growing trees takes a long time, so we'd need a very long timer on those reaching maturity for various purposes.

maybe a young tree might make a good potted plant decoration for a house, medium sized trees can start producing edibles.. large trees capable of being harvested for their wood... all stages take awhile to reach. (like 3 weeks irl time for the large trees)

 

Yea that game Archeage looks like a great way to deal with wood.

You could even mix in some missions like this games does.
Give time limits to get the wood someplace

And besides carrying the wood on your back like in Archeage maybe use Elephants or something to pack the wood.

Once you get the wood somewhere I think it should be automatic to turn them into boards or just get paid some money for the delivery.

As far as seeds go I don't think we should have to replant for all the trees we cut down.
But yes use it for decoration and farming.

But like your title says there is trouble with trees.
Cutting them down and planting new ones does not sound easy to put into a game.
I bet they would do slots or something where you can plant a tree or players might grow them all over the place.

 

I think the game is just too instanced for this.

I mean you could have a quest to plant trees, but this wouldn't really be persistent.
I see nothing wrong with giving up a plot on a house for a tree though.
