I agree, or make seeds so people can plant a nice big oak in there town.

I havn't seen this anywhere else. Is this true?

Yeah this is why I usually don't like when the self appointed netiquette police shouting "Necro!!!!" whenever a thread more than a week old is replied to. We're suppsed to search, we're not supposed to reply to an old thread? The unwritten rules need to be rewritten.

If somebody revives a thread to add absolutely nothing, or is responding to a topic that is no longer relevant because the subject is obsolete then sure that makes sense. But if somebody is actively adding to the conversation then it shouldn't matter when the OP started it.

Better for someone to necro this thread and give the correct answer (mine) rather then those of us searching threads to have this...

...be the expectation.

You're welcome.

thanks for correcting the wrong info that was here.

i hate that "necro" ever became a term.
if there's a relevant thread, always better to continue that than start a new one.

posting irrelevant or useless stuff is bad regardless of the age of the thread, necro is still a dumb term to use in those situations too.

stupid internet culture, rant rant!

When it comes to trees that you grow yourself, the stage of growth is relevant. Even if the tree appears to be fully grown, there is another stage, and when the tree is cut down in the previous stage, the seeds will not fall out.

Cool, thanks.

Does it matter what stage a tree you cut down out in the wild? I took out more than 20 mature looking birch trees and didn't get any seeds.

Birch seeds are not a thing.

Yeah, this. No tree that yields fine wood drops seeds. Fine wood is non-renewable. Other posters may have been getting birch confused with beech, which drops plenty of seeds.

I've been farming trees for a while now and I cannot confirm this. Trees only seem to have two states, the tiny saplings that you initially plant and the giant full-grown trees that they explode into once enough time has passed. The latter state appears to drop seeds normally (which is to say, not all the time, but for beech trees often enough to yield a surplus on average).
