Introduction
Planting trees is an essential task in Stonehearth, as it provides resources and aesthetic value to your town. However, since the game involves building on a rocky terrain, planting trees can sometimes seem like a daunting task. In this guide, we will walk you through how to plant trees in Stonehearth, even in the midst of rocks and mountains.
Preparation
Before planting trees, you need to prepare the terrain. Remove rocks and other debris from the area you want to plant on. You can use the “demolish” tool to clear out large rocks, and “mining” to remove smaller ones. You can also use the “level terrain” tool to flatten the ground and create a smooth surface for planting.
Selecting Trees
Now, you need to select the type of trees you want to plant. There are several kinds of trees in Stonehearth, each with its own unique properties. For example, if you need wood for construction, you can plant oak trees, while if you want to improve your town’s aesthetic value, you can plant fruit trees or conifers.
Planting Trees
Once you have selected the trees you want to plant, it’s time to set them down. Go to the “farming” tab, select the tree you want to plant, and then drag it to the area you want to plant on. Release the mouse button to set the tree in place.
Note that it’s essential to plant trees far enough apart to allow each tree to grow without competing for resources. You should also avoid planting trees too close to other structures, as they can obstruct your view and cause wildfires when they catch fire.
Caring for Trees
After planting trees, it’s crucial to care for them properly to ensure they grow healthy and strong. You need to water trees regularly, especially during dry seasons, to keep them hydrated. You can also use fertilizers to promote growth and discourage pests and diseases from attacking them.
