Deforestation!

[Tandarie]

I have serious concerns about Trees in the game. As I understand it trees are supposed to grow back within a few days of being chopped down as long as the stump was not destroyed. The problem is anyone can destroy stumps so the trees never grow back and the tribes in that area suffer.

I think you should be able to destroy stumps on your tribal land to clear it for buildings and things but not in the open areas. Currently there is nothing stopping someone from destroying all the trees in an area.

Is this supposed to be a game tactic?

i agree they should make trees in open areas so that stumps cant be destroyed or they should at least let us replant the trees.

Protect your area. Sucks while offline, but I don't necessarily have a problem with it. It's happened to me a few times, already.

Maybe the trees should give more logs as well, the proportions small or large logs dont seem right to some of the larger trees.
To be honest, i havent seen lake tahoe, but i would think they'd be more trees than there are currently.

Considering the upcoming population boom and current wildlife/nature spawn system, I expect that all easily accessible resources (tree and animal) will be depleted in less than a few weeks. The remaining resources will pit opposing factions against each other in a battle for their acquisition.

Being a member of a sizable tribe, and having traveled the land extensively in the past days, I have been exposed to the perils of extensive raw material gathering. The way things are set, I am concerned that we won't have anything to do other than kill each other before long. I am optimistic that upcoming features and tweaks will remedy this, but I feel we're left in the dark to wonder about our futures.

Maybe when a tree is cut down we could get a "seedling" that could be planted?

I can also see where trees are going to be a Big Problem! Our tribe made the mistake of cutting down all the trees in our Tribe Area. Traveling to distant lands to get branches and wood is very time consuming. You can only carry 4 logs or branches at one time. Travel time for supplies is going to be a game breaker for some players.
