I’ve seen a few posts mentioning running out of trees.
Not sure if players are aware of using the work camps and relocating the gathering area (adjusting the tree/stone ratio and mature trees only),
but also you can plant more trees using decorations or use a arborist to plant fruit trees outside of their gathering zone.
Not to mention trading for them…setting up excess stock to be sent to Trade building and take advantage of buying and selling to multiple Traders.
Indeed agreed.
Anyway players complaining are usually doing so in regards to late game content where 500 units are consumed in one “city wing palisade expansion”
Nevertheless I do like / enjoy the fact not all is given to us and we need to priorize instructions, building order and wait for trees to grow if we expand “too fast”.
There’s a challenge to our decision priorities, risking our settlement’s survival.
the trees growing back by time + u can plant more trees if u need in decorations, but usually i have 3-4 work camps, and u can pick area for farm, never had problems with wood, better add stone quarry
I’ve set aside an area as a woodlot. I planted several rows of trees to begin with, then I plant a row or two every year. I chop the oldest, and therefore tallest and best-yielding, trees and replant. The next year, I chop down a couple more rows, and replant. And so on, row by row. It’s sustainable. And when the town expands in the direction of the woodlot, I just do my replanting in another lot farther out, to start a new woodlot.
Good solution, but it’s micromanagement. A dedicated forester profession would be the go.
The natural trees, not the ones you can plant, will naturally regrow. If you don’t place all your buildings on the trees in a locked tight grid fashion, but instead leave as many trees as possible in your city, you will have far more that regrow.
It would be nice to have a dedicated forester, for sure. But until then, a woodlot can stand in. Also, if the map comes up with few trees at the very start, one might want to re-roll the map. I did that, and I got an insane amount of trees!
