Sapling Capsule

Description

mod-showcase.gif

Works like a cluster grenade, but plants trees instead of pulverizing them.

Inspired by Treenades, with various improvements:

  • Spawns the type of tree that is closest to the target location
  • Compatible with Alien Biomes
  • Can only plant trees close to existing trees
  • Works like a cluster grenade, for more varied (organic) placement
  • Prevents spawning trees on top of other entites (just like during map generation)
  • Won't spawn trees on water
  • It's a late game technology (unlocked after "Military 4") and costs more to produce
  • Some particle and sound effects

Balancing notes

  • The capsule costs less wood than it can provide. Reason being that if a cluster lands on an occupied spot,

the tree won't grow, thus wasting this precious, usually finite resource.

  • It costs insane amounts of water because offshore pumps provide (in my opinion) insane amounts of water
  • It's a late game tech and the item is expensive because trees make for some overpowered walls
