Tree sizes

[Ғlϵshus]

With what soil can I get a pine at 300 and 900 HP? I can easily get pines with 600 and 1200 HP but impossible to get trees of other sizes? (without using the creation menu)

What your asking for im sure is exclusively available through mods. Its not a question of "What soil" because... I'd imagine all "soil" acts the same, but has different textures... and trees id imagine are programmed to naturally grow as much as they can to 1200, eventually.

Are you waiting long enough for them to grow?

Just for S&G, I planted pine trees on the roof of Dishong Tower, we took over the lobby and the 6th floor.

I put down Sod and planted trees, and for a long time they stayed at 900, but then finally grew to 1200, much slower than same type i planted on the ground..

Not sure if trees have different growth cycles based on soil though.

Maybe I misunderstand, but it seems like you're upset you cannot grow trees of other values? Though I cannot understand for the life of my why that matters if I have not misunderstood.

What type of soil do you find those sizes in while wandering the world? I could just be a timing thing, but you'd probably have to look at the xmls to be sure.

Soil type actually matters now in order to get trees to grow to max. Want to plant pines at a desert base for example? Need forest soil because they wont grow to 1200 otherwise. If they grow at all.

Yeah they'll grow to 300 then 600 max for me in sand/desert biome.

Planting the seed in grassy ground or forest ground allows them to grow biggerer so you can get the extra wood per chop as it were.

I like to put 1 voxel of dirt down in the desert and plant a snow biome pine in it. Makes for a good desert way point for easy navigation ;) lol

If you want them to grow only to 600 just for looks or as part of a park or something, use sand. Works for me

It's a question of aesthetics, that trees of the same size is ugly! But finally i think I found a type of land that grows trees that stop growing up to 900HP, it's clay! Unfortunately clay is not craftable without the creation menu, but it's already good ...I can make forests with 3 different tree sizes around clay.
