[3.63] Quick burn standing trees

[Brygun]

As part of the harsh island challenge Im setting standing trees alight. They burn out and gone very quickly. There is never a big fire like you get if the tree was felled into a "tree trunk". The amount of wood is the same.

Not sure if this was intentional to stop forest fires.

It makes it quicker and much easier to clear land for fields, but I'd rather it was more realistic (especially for the Winter Island Challenge scenario). The last time I cleared IRL land, it took me weeks to finally burn up all the dozer decks.

I have heard of real life people using tall trees to make them fall over. Rather than cutting them with a stone axe, which takes hours, that you burn the base of the tree (only) then it falls over. Which is this game would generate a tree trunk.

But

There should be the possibility of having massive out of control fires. Wheeeeee

I've attempted to mod it, but can't seem to make it work right.

So many possibilities...

yep thats it

I mean you could call for there to be

Clay [remove] '+ fireshield 3 feet up the tree'
Fire nearby
Tree next to [remove] *?

output a tree trunk where you stand, delayed an hour? to burn through

Its the "remove tree" that I don't see how to make happen


You can change a tile into ground just like you can make a water tile from the well or water barrel. So you can delete a tree.

But

recipies only have one output. Either the tree or ground tile.

Even if you have some middle step token its one token type made.
