nasKo Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Generally I would like to see 2 floors high trees but EnigmaGrey said it before: They will be cut if you near and there will be only tree trunks .Technically we won't ever see the branches from above, because our character had a perspective on his/her current floor and I think many players would be "sad" if they can't see for example a horde because of the branches which they cover. And it could be annoying to see the branches switching on or off if you walk.On the other side it would look cool if your charakter is on a higher floor than the trees I hope my text is read- and understandable Edit: Something coming in my mind... sadly a contraIn the building editor for example lamp posts are not conected. I have to place the bottom part of the LP (lamp post) and then switching one floor up and place the upper part of the LP. If you now destroy the lower part of the LP I think the upper part would be remain floating. Of course its only theoretical and I never tried it but I think if you lumber one of your pine trees, the branches would be remain flying What makes you think that this wouldn't be addressed in case the engine changes to support taller trees?

Sieben Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What makes you think that this wouldn't be addressed in case the engine changes to support taller trees? Because I said that I don't know how the engine works and if this possible or not I support taller trees but I can't imagine the finished product looks alright Necromatic_Corgi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if not the devs, the modders. And if not the modders . . . yourself? deprav, Necromatic_Corgi and Sieben 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmy101 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It's something we want to do, but its a massive undertaking, would require substantial changes to the engine (remember that all the 'turn the world to 3D talk from yesteryear never ended up happening to the degree we intended due to EasyP's massive optimizations) and as such considering what it brings to the gameplay (consider that the only real difference to gameplay whatsoever, forgetting visuals, would be you don't slow down walking through the forest) is substantially less than say: NPCsVehiclesUI OverhaulKate + BobMilitaryCity this is bottom of that list at best. This takes us probably well into next year, at which point we don't want to start piling on extra significant promises we can't necessarily keep. If it were something we could squeeze in while we're doing that it would be one thing, but to do well it would require significant changes to engine and a great deal of work both art and code and eat up a big chunk of the team. It's something we'd like to do but would be idiots to make any firm promises. That's what separates us from the DF-9s of the world. We promised the above in very real terms and are committed to delivering on those promises, and have said we very much WANT and intend to do a whole bunch more, but its all dependent on situation and funding and continued or increased interest in the game. So you'll get no further promises than those listed above, and that this something we would definitely like to have very very much and may happen but may just as likely not happen.
