Trees make your own forest? For logging ?

[RatBag]

Hi

Can you make your own forests for logging ?

Is there a mod that allows you to place trees make your own forest so you can do looging? I know maps have tress already . Plus I have one large field i want to break it up into two with a road and few trees ... Then maybe cut them down at a later date depending what i want to do:)

I went to the shop / placeables and put down 1 Maple tree as a test got the Scorpion King £ 317.000 it said this can`t cut down rhe tree so are they just to look at placeable trees and can`t cut them down?

There are the pallets of saplings and a tree planter you can buy in the shop, vanilla game.

you can plant you own trees with the damcon tree planter.

There is a limit for trees. Many maps are already at the limit and will not allow you to plant more. If you are on a mod map be wary of this.

Can you, please, be more specific on this? What is the limit if you maybe know? I'm about to start with trees, having idea to buy field number 5 on Goldcrest Valley and plant trees there. That could give me like 50 trees on that certain filed (I'm guessing the number). Is that possible?

If it is the base game map you should be ok. I read the limit once, but it has been about a year.
I want to suggest it was about a total of 30K trees allowed on the map, but I am unsure.

Yes, base game map. Even if it's like 2k that's more than enough for me. Thank you!

Yes, you can. Trees you plant you can logging as well.

But of course you have to wait for them to grow before you can usefully cut them down and sell them.

Just be warned when doing a whole field, I done this when Farm sim came out, that whole area lagged out completely https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/394456449926515426/5CB4C8E14314D460B12106060D0C8947C3AE1D0E/

Takes 10 in-game days for the trees to reach full maturity.

This is a decent guide I think.

The Damcon planter plants the pine trees you buy as pallets. IIRC the Scorpionking can only cut pine trees, not Maple, Oak etc. The chainsaw or saws for the skidsteers should be able to do those, but it's worth checking first.

If you want to play around with the fields, try the ground modification roller. There are some good youtube videos showing you how to use it, and it can turn fields into anything really. I made this yard yesterday (the blue shed, big shed, dirt and concrete and fencing) out of as grass field using the roller to change the ground textures, and a few placeables: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1505930444

Edit: Just started a map, and the one of the hints along the loading page said "The tree harvesters only cut fir trees, but they process them very quickly."
