Trees changes in Project Zomboid

Cutting down an extra large tree now gives more wood.

Extra large (XL) and extra extra large (XXL) trees have been added, and world generation now places them in its biomes.

You can now right-click to hide the overhang of XL trees, so it does not block your view when driving or scouting ahead.

Fixed collecting loose ground cover items creating the same amount of noise as chopping a tree

Trees are now partly hidden behind fences that should cover them, instead of being drawn on top.

Fixed Trees are drawn over fences that should hide them partially

In multiplayer, damage from falling and from walking through trees now syncs correctly.

Fixed damage from falling and walking through trees not syncing

Fixed being able to chop trees with a broken axe.

Some large branch exploits are closed, so it no longer does high damage to trees or gives maintenance XP through them.

Fixed some exploits with the large branch, having high tree damage and granting maintenance XP.

Jumbo trees now take up a single tile.

Fewer trees now spawn in spots without enough room for them, but some of these trees are still left.

Removed some instances of unwanted trees (not enough space to place).

• Removed some instances of unwanted trees (not enough space to place). Still some unwanted trees left that we need to explore.

The unwanted trees still left are there because dirt is excluded as a floor type.

The remaining unwanted trees are due to exclusion of dirt as a wanted floor.

Fixed axes taking too much damage too fast when chopping down trees.

Trees are now sized by their tile properties, which decides how big each tree counts as and whether it gives logs when chopped.

Adjusted how trees are evaluated based on their tile definition properties to determine their size and whether they yield logs.

The smallest trees are now split into really small and small trees, so the two sizes can give different yields when chopped.

A distinction was introduced within the smallest class of trees, differentiating between "really small" and "small" trees.

Really small trees now give one Log and a Sapling when chopped, and bigger trees give more Logs.

The really small trees will now drop one Log and a Sapling, bigger trees drop more Logs.

Tree health has been recalculated to match the new log yields, so how much chopping a tree takes lines up with how many Logs it gives.

Revised tree health calculations to account for changes in log yield.

In existing saves, small trees that are not really small only drop logs in areas you have not explored yet, so travel to new ground to get logs from them.

Note: Players with existing savegames will need to travel to unexplored areas for the "small but not really small trees" to drop logs when chopped down.

Large enough oak trees now sometimes drop acorns when you chop them down.

Large enough oak trees can sometimes drop acorns when chopped down.

Chopping trees now gives fewer Large Branches, because a bug was making them drop too many.

Rebalanced tree chopping yields as excess Large Branches were dropping due to redundant code.

Chopping down a holly tree can now sometimes give you Holly Berries as well.

Holly trees can sometimes drop Holly Berries when chopped down.

Large enough pine trees now sometimes drop pine cones when you chop them down.

Large enough pine trees can sometimes drop pine cones when chopped down.

Trees can no longer kill your character, scratches no longer bleed, and lacerations that were being given by mistake are gone.

Removed death-by-tree.

• Removed death-by-tree. Scratches no longer bleed. Erroneous lacerations taken out.

Chopping down trees now takes a rebalanced amount of sharpness off your tool.

Balanced sharpness reduction when chopping down trees.

Chopping down trees now drops more Large Branches and Saplings.

Adjusted the code for chopping down trees so more LargeBranches and Saplings will spawn.

Chopping trees is now more likely to drop branches and saplings, with bigger trees giving more, and trees also drop splinters so you always get tinder.

Modified the tree chopping code to be more generous, scaling by tree size, in possibly dropping branches and saplings.

• Modified the tree chopping code to be more generous, scaling by tree size, in possibly dropping branches and saplings. They also drop splinters, so you will always get tinder.

Trim Sapling has been replaced by Carve Long Stick, a broader recipe that accepts any item of the right type.

Replaced the Trim Sapling craftRecipe with a more generic, tag-input based craftRecipe, "Carve Long Stick".
