tree farming

[just chillin, Drew.]

Are there ways to still be able to plant trees next to each other? It takes so mutch space to farm trees now, it's crazy.
the amount of space i need to plant just 30 trees is ridiculous.

I think trees need a specific distance from one another, but when you down a tree, a large one or med size, you get a seed or a pinecone. You can start your own forest of sorts if you want, but honestly, I just focus on regular farming =P.

Unless its different for A16, my Old Tree farm on the roof of my base has trees 3 blocks apart. It was useful in the early days but once i had enough seed to just go out into the area around my base i now live in a ever expanding forest.

rectangle 24*20 is too large for you?

Tree's require 3 spaces between them, so if you have a 5x5 grid you can plant 4 trees (one on each corner)

A 17x17 grid can plant 25 trees (5 rows of 5 trees each with 3 spaces around them in each direction)

If you are having trouble ensuring a perfect grid, I would suggest marking each tree plot, I surround mine with plates (the flat blocks)

I don't think 3 spaces between trees is unreasonable considering how large they get. They didn't want players making natural walls with nothing but trees

That's what i do early on. Later in the game if I'm making a roof farm I'll sometimes do 5x5 plots and do trees in the corners and vegetables in the center. Then just make as many 5x5 plots as I want

Here it is a few days later fully grown:

After cutting it all down 25 trees was almost 9000 wood, enough for over 440 wood spikes:

Granted my skills are kind of high on that character, but that's what's possible from even a small tree farm

Just for comparison, in a15 you would have needed 44,000 wood for 440 wood spikes

I remember when trees could be planted side by side in A11... saw some interesting base designs because of it.

One guy on the server I played, had dug a 5 block wide trench all around his base, with pillars that were probably 10 blocks high - nothing else underneath the base - the trench was hidden behind a 3 row thick wall of trees. No one, no zombies could get through.

And yeah, that's exactly how I built my tree farms Kuno. Those plates are so useful. :)

Well, you can still stack logs to make tree walls. It will just be only the real trees that have leaves on top

I usually only use them as one block tall

It makes the zombies jump and slows them down, It's also useful to confuse dog/wolf pathing

But nothing stops you from making a wall or tree fort out of them as many layers deep as you want
