About This File

3x3 ploppable forest lots for some quick forest planting. Of course, the trees still have to grow for the same period until they are big. This is just a cheaper, faster, and more effecient way.

 

Just put these lots next to each other until you got the desired shape, then use the Mayor's tree tool and plant the outskirt trees for a good look (otherwise it will look odd). To do this, just move the mouse cursor in and out by the edge of the forest for a few cells.

 

Btw, God-mode trees will never get this density that i've made in this lot, which makes it very easy for fires to spread - which brings me to the next 'feature' :D

 

Since i'm very evil, i've given this lot more use :). If you don't watch out, a forest fire will start! And when that burns, you will lose a lot of trees :) its very cool to watch. Anyway, you better have a firefighter plane to reach the spots in the middle of the forest. (or you can do the less spectacular thing and just demolish the lots that are burning).

 

If you have a firestation covering the forest area, then fires are unlikely to start and even if they do, it will be put out before it spreads even without dispatching a fire truck engine. However, if the forest is not within a firestations covering area, a firetruck will have a tough time battleing the flames :)

 

Oh, and the tree that i used was the noble fir tree or what its called.

 

And also, for a more positive use, they greatly reduce air pollution within its area.

 

 

 

(ps. As you can see, i'm running out of ideas. If you got an idea for a future lot, lemme know and i'll see if its possible.)

great idea its unfortunate that forest fires are a part of life - adds more realism to the game

Nice mod. I have 2 questions: -Could you maybe also make 1x1 and 2x2 pieces? Now I can't fill up certain areas's of the map. -Could you change the max gradient and make the lots more slope tolerant? Now I can't put them on steep hills.

Great lot! It would be awsome however if you could make a rural city. Corn fields, tractors, barns, and what not. Please consider this as I think all needed supplies are on the STEX.
