Where'd the trees go?

[Zuneza]

 

I dono this could be my doing.. but when i expand the map after i start playing the parts that i have expanded no longer have trees :(

I have to go through and replant entire forests for the map to look reasonably earthlike

Anyway i just joined this forum 10 minutes ago just to ask this specific question so.. ya

this forum is made to have members, you can come to post just a single question

Well your problem is a glitch, someone will probably make a patch soon.

Welcome to the forum! :-) And we're here to help. Well, as best as we can, anyway.

I'm used to seeing maps with tons and tons of trees, not a lack of them...

Which version of Simutrans are you running, and which pak? That might help us narrow it down a bit.

... when i expand the map after i start playing ...

The expanded part of the map is just bleak terrain, without trees, rivers or cities. I don't know if there are any plans to add this feature in the future. Right now you can work around it by either starting the game with a much larger map, or by expanding and adding things manually as public player.

Since your initial posting is a bit ambiguous  the question now is: Does expanding the map remove the trees from the whole map, the parts you had already before expanding it?

[Isaac Eiland-Hall]

ARGH. Reading comprehension for the loss. Sorry I missed that.

But yes: At least for now, no forests for expanded map sections.

Now that I have that in mind and re-read OP's first post, it's clear he's saying that the *expanded* parts have no trees, and that he's adding them already.

Unfortunately, for now - that's the answer: You must add them to expanded parts.

I'm not sure if there are any plans to change this behaviour - but Simutrans is constantly being developed, so perhaps in some future version...

Anyway i have experienced the same problems as you zuneza. What i do is have a map which doesn't have trees in the first place. I actually don't like maps with trees because i have trouble seeing what i'm doing. So then if your map is like that the part which you have added onto the map doesn't stand out.

Let the moderators moderate. Please don't try and help.

Also, try hitting '%' (shift+5) on a map - it hides trees. You may find it helpful.

Im a guy that appreciates the little things in life, (probably why im playing 128 XD). So i like having alot of crap on a map to look at. But thx for the info tho

You too isaac. Hotkeys ftw!

[Isaac Eiland-Hall]

You might give pak.German a try for sheer landscape prettiness - there's a lot of eyecandy in that pak.

[Zuneza]

Oh really? i never would have guessed thx
