Regrowing & Plantable Trees

Regrowing & Plantable TreesChop a tree, get a seed, grow a new one. This mod adds a proper replanting cycle to Scrap Mechanic's four wild tree species — birch, leafy, spruce, and pine — so logging never has to mean permanently clearing an area. Plant a seed in soil, keep it watered, and it'll grow into a real, fully-choppable vanilla tree.How to use itChop a wild tree with your axe like normal. It'll drop wood as usual, plus a chance at a seed bag matching that tree's species.Plant the seed in a patch of soil, the same way you'd plant any crop.Water it — either with a bucket or by letting it sit out in the rain.Wait for it to grow. Once it's fully grown, it behaves exactly like a wild tree: chop it down for logs and wood, and it'll drop seeds of its own.Each species' seed bag is dyed a distinct colour so you can tell them apart in your inventory at a glance:Species Bag colourBirch CreamLeafy LimeSpruce Navy-tealPine Rust brownSeed drop ratesChopping a tree can drop 0 to 3 seeds, weighted by species. Some species are far more generous than others:Species 0 seeds 1 seed 2 seeds 3 seedsBirch 5% 35% 40% 20%Leafy 25% 45% 23% 7%Spruce 25% 45% 23% 7%Pine 45% 38% 14% 3%Birch is the easiest species to farm — it almost always drops at least one seed, often two. Pine is the rarest and slowest to obtain, so hang onto pine seeds once you get them.Growth speedEach species takes a different base amount of time to mature from seed to full tree (assuming no water or fertilizer):Species Base grow timeBirch 1.5 in-game daysLeafy 2.0 in-game daysSpruce 2.0 in-game daysPine 3.0 in-game daysOne in-game day is 24 real-world minutes, so an unwatered birch sapling takes about 36 real minutes to mature, while an unwatered pine takes about 2 hours.Water and fertilizerBoth water and fertilizer speed up growth, and they stack the same way they do for vanilla crops:Water (bucket or rain) — 4x growth speedFertilizer — 14x growth speedFertilizing a sapling is by far the fastest way to grow a tree
