In-Game Text

"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 concern 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.

Cuttings

With the Forestry Skill learned and Any Axe icon.png Any Axe equipped, right-clicking on some Tree icon.png Trees will give you the option to "Strike Cutting". Selecting this option will give you up to 2x of the apprioptiate Cutting icon.png Cutting. The higher your Flora & Fauna icon.png Flora & Fauna Proficiency at the time of Striking a Cutting, the less your Cutting will become a Branch icon.png Branch when planted in a Gardening Pot icon.png Gardening Pot. Cuttings do NOT re-grow.

  2. If not, Select a Vessel with at least .20L of filled with Potable Water icon.png Potable Water and left-click it onto your Gardening Pot. A Gardening Pot can hold up to 1L of Potable Water. Each planting will reduce the filled amount by .20L.

  4. Wait 3 days. Learning the Horticulture and Green Thumb Skills will reduce the time for plants to ripen.
  5. Once ripe, the plant's model will change. The base Yield for non-bushes and Trees is two. When planting you will receive a bonus Yield up to a max of 8 which is determined by chance and your Herbs & Sprouts icon.png Herbs & Sprouts Proficiency. You will see your bonus Yield pop up in green as you add your Potable plant. At any point you may check the current Yield by right-clicking on your planted Gardening Pot.
  6. Ripe plants can now be picked by right-clicking the Gardening Pot and selecting "Pick". Bushes and Trees which have sprouted can be planted by Lift icon.png Lifting the Gardening Pot and then right-clicking the ground and selecting "Plant".

For Bush icon.png Bushes and Tree icon.png Trees there is a chance for your planting will fail and you will instead receive a single Branch icon.png Branch. This chance is determined by your Herbs & Sprouts icon.png Herbs & Sprouts and Natural Philosophy icon.png Natural Philosophy Proficiencies and additionally for some Trees, the Flora & Fauna icon.png Flora & Fauna of the pilgrim who took the Cutting icon.png Cutting.
