The tree picker

Choose a species and set its age, size, setting, wind, wood and leaves.

J opens the picker anywhere in a world. The middle column holds the species in their groups: temperate, boreal, wetland, dry, tropical, understorey, worked, bonsai and dead. Hover a card to turn the tree. On the right is the 3D preview of the tree you set up. The left column has four pages: Tree, Look, Shape and More.

The tree picker on its Tree page

Tree #

Size default full
Full, or small. Small builds the species at the size of a vanilla tree. It is its own build, not the full one shrunk.
Age default 60%
Drives height, thickness, spread and the roots together.
Setting default in between
Forest-grown, in between or open-grown. In a forest a tree grows tall and narrow and drops its lower branches. In the open it stays shorter, spreads and branches low.
Wind default No wind
Bends the trunk and every branch downwind, and thins the crown on the windward side. The arrow next to it sets where the wind blows to; the crown trails that way.
Seed
Type one, or roll a random one with the dice. The same seed and settings always give the same tree.

Look #

The Look page of the tree picker
Wood
The wood palette. Starts at the species' own.
Leaves
The leaf palette. Starts at the species' own.
Overlay default None
Snow, moss or blossom laid on the upward faces of the crown.
Crown default with leaves
With leaves, or bare wood: a winter tree, or a look at the branches.
Blocks default whatever looks best
Placeable by hand uses only blocks a player could put there in survival: no open trapdoors held in mid-air, no plants on faces that would not hold them.
