Forester

[trijjicon]

My Villagers are taking the seedlings to storage. Aren't they suppose to be planting them? How do you make them plant them?

[tamu1997]

do you have them turned on in the manage screen? they'll replant either regular or hardwood. but only what you cut down in the radius of the forestry building(its a pretty big radius. seems to match the t2 lumberjack

Foresters doesn't plant new forest where there was none since before. They just make sure log tree's you cut down regrow.

Assuming I do have them turned on (and I believe I do but will check that) ...if they are turned on and not replanting, should I move the Forester Building ?

Have you cut down all the trees around the Forester building? Was there trees around it to start with?

1. Forester building requirers Farmer. I'm not sure which Farming level is required, lvl 7 is working for me
2. Limit immediatly storaging Tree Saplings
3. Forester building overall works really strange, but somehow works. No idea how.

Forester was turned on. Priorities were 3-3-3. There were trees we cut down around it. Still more trees standing. I followed one Villager and she went straight to Barn. I'll try limiting storage of saplings. Thnx guys.

like 99% of everything else invloved in a chain. the sapling has to go to storage first before it gets planted. how far away is the storage from the forester?

Ahh-- I see. It's quite far from the Forester. So, put some type of storage closer to the Forester? And block other storage from receiving saplings? Also, all of this needs to be close to the area that needs replanting?

That is not my experience though. They will use from the local storage at the Forester building as well.

Does your woodcutters keep cut down trees in the same area your Forester is planting? In that case you won't really notice forest regrow much. If you cut down everything and shift your woodcutters to another work area you will notice resgrowth of trees better as foresters do their work.

yep

[trijjicon]

Thnx for the input. That all makes more sense now. So far, I have saplings being placed in a nearby stockpile. I've shut off several other storage units further away. They still managed to find one I hadn't shut off yet. Sneaky aren't they.

I had a huge issue with this when I first started to use the forestry.. I did not top off my saplings so next thing you know I had 90 of them. lol now I set top off amounts for most of my stuff to avoid this issue.

They will take saplings directly from the table and plant them I've seen it. The issue is that tree regrowth is still too slow. You can out cut your regrowth still and there really is nothing you can do about it. So I have 3 areas where I get wood 2 normal and one hardwood and each one has it's own forestry building.
