Automating mass (re)forestation?
I'm on a second playthrough of Space Age and I haven't reached Gleba on it yet, but I recalled the tree seed research from that planet and it got me thinking. When I first played SA I was bummed that you can't use bots to plant trees, though I suppose it makes sense because blueprinting forests would be really OP.

Now, I suck at planning myself, but I still wonder how viable automating planting trees is; producing seeds is trivial, so it's planting them that's the challenge. Agricultural towers don't plant as densely as you can by hand, but it should be possible to make a fancy setup that makes a tower, supplies it with seeds, deconstructs it before the trees mature, and moves on.

I made a blueprint with just the tower and full of seeds, all you gotta do is place it down and wait for it to plant everything and then decontruct it again, the trees will grow anyway and planting them all only takes like a minute.
