No trees on quarry

[Sensei-Ezra]

there is a glitch on the quarry, no trees to start, so cant grow more shrubs with beehive to make ash,, so cant plant woods making the map impossible to complete

You need to alter the climate to dry out normal green vegetation. This vegetation can be lit on fire, helping you get areas to create forest with trees.

[Nauskills]

There's no glitch and is perfectly possible to complete.
Having no tree is part of the ''challenge''. Just use the air conditioner thing to dry out the ground and lit that on fire instead.

[Guregori]

It's not a glitch. The second set of maps is more tricky and expects you to have a good grip on game mechanics.
They probably shouldn't display the same book guide on those.

It is still very misleading. the building says requires trees. i just abandoned my map thinking it was RNG or a glitch >.<

Same here mate, good to know there actually is a solution just a less straightforward one.

[Siha]

Yeah, I had the same problem on this map -- they need to update the building descriptions to make it clear how they work, because the solar amplifier definitely says you can only start fires in fynbos or tundra.

[Guregori]

They need to do something, that much is clear. At the very least they should make it obvious that those maps need a different approach.

Thankfully I didn't pay much mind to the descriptions at this point. I just approached it as a puzzle game and assumed there has to be a solution. Was quite content with myself when I found it.

The dehydrators do mention being good "kindling" but yeah the directions in general need some tweaking, especially if they want to make that mechanic the core of an entire level.

Amen. The guide is not only not useful it actually makes it harder to figure out exactly what is needed.

If you burn down your own buildings they leave behind piles of rubble you can plant tree growers on.

[Azriel7248]

so you mean that seed I clutched by increasing the humidity and getting it to rain right before I ran out of funds, only to find no trees to make fynbos, to burn, to make more trees was not an unintentional bug but a feature? I thought I got an unlucky seed, until I kept trying to make a new seed, then started wondering if the devs made an over-site of a whole level, but nowhere does it explain dehumidifiers can make kindling, would have been helpful, also guess I'll experiment with setting a building directly on fire cause I didn't think you could do that either, thought it had to be fynbos or tundra only. even if I set a building on fire, and nothing else burned, I could have used the ash by the lava pools to grow a few trees and use the tree, fynbos, more tree feedback loop to cover an area

anyways, thanks for the clarification

Yes, Im here as having played my first ever game. I cleared the first one but found it terribly strange and difficult to have to burn an area of fynbos to get more tundra. Im finding it very difficult second map. Not always does it even burn much and more often than not when it does, I get none of the new spawned squares to even plant a forest that gives me trees to place hives that then gets me fynbos. Seems unnecessarily difficult and destructive with very little to guide or explain. I did notice if it burned a building then I got a square that I can place a tree on but Im not sure I like this destructiveness and confusion. For my first attempt, what makes a game is if you cant wait to go back, even if theres a challenge, but honestly, Im in two minds here with this one. The book is useless as an actual guide and I dont like the burning and destruction of buildings to progress. At this stage I sorry but I dont see this as award deserving.
