About
"Nature herself gives a silent judgment in favor of the immortality of the soul, inasmuch as all are anxious, and that to a great degree, about the things which concert futurity:
- 'One Plants what Future ages shall enjoy.'
as Statius saith in his Synephebi. What is his object in doing so, except that he is interested in posterity? Shall the industrious husbandman, then, plant trees the fruit of which he shall never see?"
- - Marcus Tullius Cicero, Tusculanarum Disputationum
- The most abundant and plentiful of common and oft-employed resources can quickly, as a colony grows, become the scarcest. Forestry allows you to plant trees.
- Acquire a cutting from a tree, and plant it in a Gardening Pot. If a tree sprouts in the pot, carry the pot and Right-Click on the ground to plant the tree.
- Frontier & Wilderness and Natural Philosophy determine the chance of a cutting sprouting, and are relevant when striking it from a tree.
- Stocks & Cultivars and Natural Philosophy determine the chance of a cutting sprouting, and are relevant when planting it in a pot.
Forestry gives you the ability to strike cuttings from a tree. Two cuttings can be taken from a tree until the cuttings regrow. A sapling that fails to grow is harvested from the pot as a stick.
