palm trees in sand

[Sila 339]

As title says... they could only grow in sand

[Sila 339]

And cactus

[Ayes 3715]

And Hula girls! Luaus too maybe?

My favorite idea for this is sand-specific trees/bushes, like palm trees and cacti, but give them a kill radius similar to oak/willow (maybe 1 greater radius than those?) so that they don't wind up being too dense.

I don't think palms/cactii actually kill stuff around them though, so just doing that for the sake of balancing... nah. A better approach would be to make them plantable only, or something like that.

 

The idea itself, +1 all the way.

Just substitute Jingle for the +1 and you have quite the appropriate seasonal comment, even if within a deserted environment such as the above.

[Beretel 60]

would seem a little odd in the winter...  but I'll still

+1

 

vote for the kill radius or some other method of keeping them sparse rather than only plantable...

[Sila 339]

well our deserts are now empty   if there was no animals would be disaster

[Klaa 4871]

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?!

[nicedreams 1055]

Don't allow the beach/desert trees to be planted unless there is 9 or more tiles of sand.  Don't want to see a sand tile here and there just for one tree.  Wouldn't make it special anymore.  Having a lot of sand for a requirement would make it more legit.

 

I actually like it to be a palm tree or cactus you can't get sprouts from and can only randomly appear in large sand areas.

[Sila 339]

Well i would more like em like normal trees that not spreed

This^ and a min distance above water level for cacti, cacti on the beach just look weird

[Arvid 64]

Switch Thorns to spawn on sand tiles only

[Eobersig 1090]

Sorry, it's a -1 from me.

 

Wurm is a game made in the Nordic setting, not for some tropic beach resort. Palms have nothing to do with sand as well, plenty of sandy beaches in some northern countries, but no palms there because of the northern climate. Having palms on sand tiles would just cause plenty of players to make their own little deserts everywhere.

There are palm trees in Vancouver, Canada, northern climate(granted shorter then the Flordia Palm that people typically associate with palm trees).  Also I'm fairly sure that Crocs and Anaconda don't fit into the "Nordic" setting.


EDIT:   I can't believe no-one posted this yet;

-1 on this comment.

 

Wurm has oranges... they don't do well in Nordic climates either.

[Eobersig 1090]

Aye, you guys are right. Orange and lemon and anacondas don't fit the Nordic setting. I agree. Doesn't mean we need more things that don't fit though.

And I think my point about players making their private little deserts everywhere still stands.

[enoofu 206]

No different then players making their own Tundra or Steppe or Forest or Grassland or Deserts 

 

Some players just want variety

 

[Niki 2278]

add coconuts, the current system is terrible.

 

Palm trees are cool. Pls.

[Suntan 84]

We need  palms and coconuts, then we can make rum and coconut.
