Why do all my trees die over and over again for no reason?

pls help

Even the trees don't want to live in your city.
Oof.

but really, probably a land pollution issue if I had to guess. Information is kinda lacking here.

Before the game was officially released I saw one of the people who had advanced copies of the game on YouTube state that trees died as they got old. I thought though that they regrew. Have not tested this myself yet as I am waiting for a few fix's to be issued before I play the game properly. The person on YouTube is Silvarret and it was in his video English Rural Village part 1 if I remember correctly. Quite a good video too.

Are all trees dying? Or are they dying at certain times of the year or in certain areas?

[Felixpaw02]

they are not dying all at the same time, but there will still be huge areas where 80 % of trees are dead

[Felixpaw02]

and no, its not a pollution issue

then maybe it's Isengard cutting too greedily for their furnaces, and the Ents will soon march to war

but seriously, it just sounds like a bug, if you could try loading a new map and just watch the forests for a bit on maximum speed, see if it happens again?

Also I assume you've gone to the Steam library, right clicked the game, and "Verify Files" ? it'll just ensure nothing is corrupt or mismatched.

Trees shouldnt die!! Fix that please!
Also the beautiful Green trees after a fire ... they should die and disappear! But Not the healthy ones, they should be there 4ever!

Are you sure they just aren’t turning brown for fall/winter?

I haven't had this problem till recently. Apple Valley was filled with beautiful trees and half died. I clicked on a dead one and is said 'zero wood' urghhh. I noticed that quite a few were near noise pollution. Don't know if that's it or as someone else said, just old age. Noticed it's currently spruce and apple in my game.

Yeah, it's like I have lumber industry in my city.. except I don't.

I HATE HOW TREES ARE HANDLED IN CS2. I want to just plop fully-grown trees for aesthetic purposes, not wait *actual* weeks for them to grow up, only for them to later lose their "wood" and be uglier than bare ground.

Why did I highlight *actual* weeks to grow? Because at "only" 200k, my city runs like molasses on a cold day on a pretty solid rig. Game is unplayable.

I am not sure what causes this. it's either a bug or trees just have their own life cycle there's just a death wave of trees. I have this same issue too where I just have large areas of dead trees.

yeah. Pretty annoying, There's a mod on Thunderstore that allows you to place trees in their fully grown state. I think the idea of having trees grow overtime seemed like a cool idea, but doesn't really playout well, especially if you are focusing on detailing.

It's the tree life cycle. If you plant all your trees at the same time they will all die at the same time. It's pretty annoying. There's a mod out called tree controller that can fix this. You can vary the ages of the trees so that doesn't happen or just turn off the tree growth all together.

Quick question about the tree controller, if I plant a tree as an adult, does it stay as an adult and will not grow any further, righter?
