I cant chop down the orchard trees I plant?

[Ghostlight]

WHY?

[Kitten Food]

why should you be able to? orchard trees are not the same as old growth trees used for building. beyond that, it would be severely unbalanced.

Are you serious with that?? You think it's logical to have a kind of tree that can't be chopped down?

[Ghostlight]

When I can cut down and use young Oaks and Firs that are a quarter of the size of my Chestnut trees??

[Sledge]

Agreed that all trees should be choppable. You can adjust the amount of logs (or maybe only sticks for small saplings), but we should be able to clear the land.

[Ghostlight]

You can clear the land, but the trees just magically vanish and produce nothing. It's crazy. Especially when 30% of the end game is sending people out to cut down trees for logs for charcoal.

I don't understand your concern. What exactly is balance-breaking about trees returning a bit of wood when chopped down?

You can plant a bazillion trees of your own for free and then chop them down for wood. Realistic perhaps IRL but would be an exploit in the game, as you are meant to put out a work area for logging.

in modern times we do that lol. We plant huge forests to just cut down after few years

So? It should take at least a few years for those trees to have grown enough to give any substantial yield in wood / sticks. Same as it would take normal, unattended trees a few years to grow before chopping them down becomes a viable option.

or you could have forester hut to plant trees for chopping like in late era

I have to agree with OP - the game balance thing should be addressed some other way than making hurting the immersion. Just make trees take longer to chop down, or have lower yields if it's an issue of balance.

The game already really drags by the time you've reached the bronze age. Adding more tedium makes no sense. It is not difficult to conceive planting evergreen trees either.

Then again... I would sacrifice this whole discussion if it meant more interesting content to drive the late game was introduced. The game is very uninteresting in the later stages.

[Ghostlight]

The trees you can plant even have a yield in the Help system, showing Sticks and Logs, as well as the fruit they bear. So what does that mean?

[kampfer91]

Tree still take time to grow , not like you can chop infinite wood from it , and heck primitive people would have same idea of growing tree and then chop it later .

And balance what ? When you have enough people doing slaughtering livestocks , making bread and hunting / fishing , planting a fruit tree that take a large pile just for 1 single fruit aren't worth it , you still have a large food stockpile in your granary .
