The new development year starts with new a tree species

It's 2025, so happy new year and all the best for everybody!

In the development chambers the new year starts with adding a new tree species into the game world - and that is the aspen tree.
Aspen is a large deciduous tree growing up to 15-30 meters in height. Grows in groves, fresh coniferous forests, rich spruce mires as well as on clearings and hills.
This addition precedes a slightly more distant goal of eventually adding character crafted punts into the game.
For the time being, aspens will bring nice variety into the world, and an additional type of timber to utilize. Grown aspens provide big trunks when felled and their bark can be also peeled for tanning purposes.

In the dirt month aspens have already dropped their leaves but the standing trees as well as the felled trunk are easily recognizable.
