Not possible to do without mods, or perhaps dev commands. Oak trees don't drop seeds plus there's a space limit on growables.

Ahhhhh ok just thought I had bad luck with no Oak seeds.

Planting trees and growing them is really easy, for those that you get seeds for anyway.

Problem is that a Troll will just smash through them, no issue. Secondary problem is that you cannot plant them close enough together to keep small mobs out; you will get a message saying the sapling needs more room or light.

I like the oak trees. Giant old trunks.

As much as I like fine wood, in my current play-through, I have not chopped any down. I was thinking it would be nice if there was something special that would happen if you didn't cut any down.

Or another thing like killing starred deer and boar. If leaving them alive would populate the world more with starred animals of that type. I think a reactive environment would be really cool in this game.

I think it is an innovative idea, even with other trees. Maybe can't do grown trees due to the space limit, but I wonder about cutting them down but leaving the trunks in a row. My guess is it might not be enough to keep some things out, but could bee some cool design options for bases. Example, trunk seats for a wooden table.

For the longest time I had a nice oak in the back yard of my home, put up a few beehives on and left it bee pun intended. Unfortunately progression hit and expansion of the area was more important than the ole OAK. Sorry fella now you sit as a table in my new home.

I also leave the oak alone. I cut a few in my youth, but now on a fresh start I have put them on the “preserved species” list

Just curious because bet that would be cool.

It's not going to be cool when a troll hits one and they fall like dominos on top of your house

Not Oaks, but it's a defense I use around the moat/trench of my bases. Stops Trolls pretty well, they'll knock the trees down every once in a while, but for the most part they can't squeeze between my tree spacings...wish I could get Oak. I just replant if any get taken down.


...and it's a server rule: Cut NO Oaks, ever!

yeah used birch, wish I used pine

It’s called a fence :)

I build my village in an oval with an oak in the middle. It becomes a town square/park type environment.

You could have a bunch of trees that have been knocked down and form some kind of wall, mobs don't seem to attack fallen trees unless you're near it and they attempt an attack on you

...fir trees...firs. Nice thick, low foliage.

The mod pacakages I'm using allow for planting oaks. I have used a partial oak wall, two layers does indeed help with the larger trolls (stars make the creatures larger). So if i get a raid with a 8 star troll in my meadows/BF city (i straddle a biome here) those large suckers cant get through my oaks. Trick on it is to keep the ring far enough back they donbt start crazy swininging or have the troll tossers knock your stuff out from range.

Vanilla game...no option, you cant plant an oak (sad face).
