Silviculture

What does this mod do?

It adds a "quality" property to trees that determines the wood yield from them. The higher the quality, the more wood you get.

Can I affect the quality of my trees?

Trees are assigned a quality when they spawn, but trees will often spawn with a quality similar to their neighbors. By cutting down low quality trees and leaving high quality trees, you are more likely to get higher quality trees. Planted trees also naturally have a higher quality than a wild tree on a fresh map.

Okay, but why?

My brother is an arborist, and he asked me to make this mod. It adds a little more realism to maintaining a forest than the vanilla experience of just cutting down fully grown trees. Please direct all silviculture-related questions to him, I don't know about this stuff.

Performance

Lightweight, shouldn't affect performance in any meaningful way. There's no additional logic per-tick, the mod just adds new logic to spawning and harvesting trees.
