Planting trees?

[Gozzon]

Is tree planting in game yet or am I doing something wrong? I have filled land with acorn's but I haven't had a single tree grow from them. I'm running low on braches and ran out of sap long ago.

it is.. i cant remember what seeds they are that plant.. ground needs to be fresh dirt, no grass, i believe, so dig up the ground and place a new dirt block. number 6 selects various throwable objects, the seeds can be selected here. though he doesnt throw them, just drops them at his feet
hope this helps

Have to give it a try. Have been dropping them on grass which would explain none growing up. My thanks.

I think the seeds you need are the 'brown seeds'. Like Lucifer said, you need fresh dirt on the ground and then you just plant the seeds. You will know when a seed has been planted because a little mound of dirt will appear.

Ah yeah, there has been some understandable confusion regarding planting, I'm considering just making it so you can plant seeds on grass, although it would mean lots more auto-planted seeds. We actually have a hoe that knocks grass off of blocks (and you an hit sheep with it) so I suppose it couldn't hurt to put that recipe in, maybe with a proper description it would make it more clear that you need to plant seeds on bare dirt.

I just burn the grass away with the firestarter. You can also surround the "garden" area with stone or something, so grass doesn't spread to it. Making seeds plantable on grass would be worth a test-through, but if it means we'd be unable to gather seeds due to them all planting themselves, another change might need to be made.

I noticed Juicy Fruits don't generate a new seed when they're eaten, like the Bana and Bloo fruits do. Is this intentional? If auto-planting got too out of control, perhaps the Juicy Fruits could be made to act more like the others, with the trees dropping fewer or no seeds? Just some suggestions.

Yeah, some good thoughts. I'll discuss it with the other devs and get their opinions on it, there are a bunch of ways we could go with it I suppose.
