Trees

If I turn off the Lumberjack flag will the tree's grow back?

trees in a wet (green) area will grow back but it seems much faster to place a forester to plant the trees

So if you cut down all the tree's in a green area then turn off the lumber flag the tree's should eventually come back in that area over time

Only the mature trees will make new small trees but it takes a long long time before the individual big trees make new small trees.

So if you have several forest around when you start up the game then you can take down all those big trees on each forest and when those small trees grow up then you may let them be when they grow up because they will continue to make new trees and it take a time before you have all your forester up and go on each forest.

When you take down those big trees on each forest at the start of the game then you may let some of them be when you not see any new small trees around and if you know that single forest gonna take long time before you are able to place out 1 forester then you may let more bigg trees stay alive and now that forest wanna grow faster by him self.

Keep in mind some of those bigg forest gonna need more than 1 forester because 1 forester on max radius take forever to plant out all those trees in that single radius.

Hint:
Use several lumberjack flag as stockpile for your trees to the stages you have all your forester up and go and now you can place out wood stockpile on each forest and on this way your beaver gonna work much more effective at the start of the game.

-- The real answer on your question : If you place out a lumberflag and your beaver have take down all trees then those empty area around the lumberflag wont spawn back trees when you have turn your lumberflag off.

Only bigg trees make baby trees by them self and the forester is able to plant baby trees as well.

No they don`t.

mature trees can reproduce onto empty green dirt blocks next to them, it does take time for this to happen naturally though and you cant control it unless you put paths so trees cant go on certain blocks. a forester seems like it pulls the stump (that would regrow into a tree again on its own over time) and plants a new seedling but it skips forward a bit in the cycle so they do grow a bit faster than natural. trees will only repopulate from other trees though, so if you clear whole forests leaving nothing left there will be nothing to spawn new trees and a forester will be the only way to get trees back into the area.

Yes they grow back after harvesting see screenshot above, this area was cleared and no Forester around

No they don`t.

I believe they do, see the two trees in my screenshot, it was all chopped down then these two trees popped up.

So what your saying is if we wait 21 cycles who is a very long time then all sorts of trees wanna spawn any place on the map where they can reach water after we have chop down all trees in that forest, what surprising me here is that you have all 3 types of trees in the same forest hmm.

I like to see a screenshot further away where you have the whole forest in one pictures if you don`t mind just to se how the forest spread out.

No, it just happens that I'm at cycle 21 when I made a new district and chopped down the trees, actually a few cycles earlier that I created the district.

You're completely misunderstanding what is being said. In your screenshot you literally have mature trees. Those mature trees will eventually drop a sapling. If you cut down every single mature tree, no trees will grow back.

Really? So they'll drop trees 8 spaces away? I had no idea.

Mate something is wrong here where i have seen several sapling who popped up but only 1 or 2 or maybe 3 tile away from a mature wood.

In your situation you may have let all those stubs stay there for a long long time which other player usually start to plant new sapling straight away or build stuf above all those stubs or remove them all and on this way the stubs is gone long time before they got time spawn new sapling as you show on your screenshot and that means the stubs allow sapling to spawn on them.

And who knows maybe those mature trees is able to make sapling 8 tile away as long that area is connected with stubs all the way.

So what do happen when all those trees is chopped down in the whole forest and now you have only stubbs left do the stubs then spawn back new sapling and what about if you remove all stubs do any new sapling spawn back then, maybe the developer should pop up here and explain what is going on.

Anyway you said you create a new district but that do not explain why you have 3 different trees merge together in the same forest.

Not sure what is to be explained, 3 trees in same forest as designed in map editor.

Maybe that is the reason why your trees grow or spawn this way because of the editor.
