Trees Don't Just Die

Description
Description
Simple mod that removes lifespan from all trees, including bonsai trees. Are trees in reality biogically immortal? Sure are not, but in the timescales of Rimworld they pretty much are. And the biomatter contained within evaporating into thin air after two years is frankly ridiculous.

Side effects
Because trees don't die naturally and the game tries to keep a constant population of trees on the map, this mod has a side effect of somewhat reducing natural spawn rate of young trees. Assuming no wild fires, tree cutting or other dendrous destruction.

One cool effect this mod has is making the trees around your base sparser over time while untouched areas get thicker. This kinda happens in base game too but resets itself over time if you don't cut the trees for long enough. It's really good aesthetically cos you can just see which places have been unchopped for a long time, the wild areas.

thank you; maybe you could add something about tree rotting in the description because that was what I was originally looking to change via mod - there were some searches about that on reddit, too (without findings).

@idreamofgeni Should work now.

The Zen Garden trees don't seem affected by this mod, which is particularly annoying since they're MEANT to be largely decorative, so them dying makes that hard.

Reminds me Kenshi expirience, where it is hard to make people die - almost anytime you can heal downed

It seems like vanilla feature, yet it's not. Maybe some game mechanic depends on the trees dying? For the trees not to accumulate at the map edges?

@Rootiga: In fact, aside from annual plants, most plants survive more than a year. Even herbaceous perennial plants will live for as long as conditions allow survival.

This mod is fantastic, I'm not sure why the vanilla trees only live 100-150 days. It makes landscaping impossible when your plants die constantly

as a follow-up to @UntouchedWagons question, it looks like vgp trees (from the core mod and the vgp xtra modules) still have their normal lifespan with this mod enabled :D
