[Endorsed] Redwood Trees - Burning

9koopa·3/18/2017 in Community-endorsed Suggestions

We all love redwoods. Except people that don't like trees, but that's something else. I live in California and have seen Redwoods up close, and the mod version is very similar. However, one minor detail is missing. Redwoods don't burn.

In real life, Redwood trees got to be as massive as they are from their tough bark, which withstands fire. The fire is their friend, it burns shrubs and weeds on the ground, giving them more nutrients. I believe that redwoods in the mod should not burn from regular fire (Khamul's fire is another matter...), or at least have a higher resistance to fire.

(Of course, in real life, the young trees are not as resistant, but that's hardly doable in the mod to make only the large trees not burnable)

I brought the same issue up on Facebook, and was ignored. Nice to know a fellow Californian though! My neighbor has two large redwoods in her backyard.

You must be in the countryside. Where I live, a large redwood would take up almost half of a backyard. The giant ones would be the entire backyard.

I actually live in Berkeley. The redwoods I was speaking of are coastal, not Sequoya, so they´re not as thick around, but taller. I have actually seen the third largest redwood (Also the 3rd largest tree of any kind) in the world.

Ah, Sequoyas. They are much smaller in width, yea. I think I had one in my yard at my old house in Ramona.

I also live in Northern California, Kudos to you!

never knew that, however perhaps khamuls fire should still burn it? (sorry, i don't know the lore behind it, all i know is it is a fiercer fire that can burn through stone)
