Tree Breeding is a mechanic from Forestry & Extra Trees that allows the creation of new tree species and selective breeding for traits. While mostly cosmetic for a variety of colourful woods, there are some niche uses for Forestry's trees - an alternate way of obtaining Coconut, seed oil, and some unique but low-value food for extra hearts. Every type of Forestry tree can be turned into planks, slabs, doors, stairs, fences, fence gates, Bibliocraft decorations and Forge Microblocks facades. With the Panelworker, multiple colors of wood can be combined for complex block patterns. Combined with Refractory Wax in the Thermionic Fabricator, Forestry logs, planks, fences, stairs and slabs can be made fireproof.
{{Ombox|type=content|image=[[File:ButterflyIcon.png|30px]]|text= '''The Butterfly Problem'''<div> Forestry trees spawn butterflies. If the area is not enclosed, those butterflies will wander with a vector bias and eventually collect in unloaded chunks, potentially causing lag issues when those areas are visited. It's strongly recommended to keep all Forestry trees indoors and use <code>/forestry butterfly kill</code> to remove them if needed.}}
==Tools & Supplies==
* Carpenter - for making the Treealyzer, Arborist's Chest
* Enclosed space - to avoid butterfly issues. Several if doing both breeding and production
* Spectacles / Apiarist's Hat - Makes pollinated tree leaf blocks more obvious
Line 10 ⟶ 11:
* Field Kit / Treealyzer / Analyzer / Scanner - Used to analyze sapling genetics. Converts vanilla saplings to Forestry variants. Analyzer/Scanner are powered machines.
* Arborist's Database - Generally unnecessary, as its functions are available via [[NEI]]. Tracks known species and possible mutations
* Arborist's Chest - can hold up to 125 different Forestry saplings or fertile pollen
* Escritoire - play a matching mini-game to boost mutation chances
* [[Pollen Collection Kit]] - manual pollen collection
* Bee Houses / Apiaries / Alvearies - homes for bees, to pollinate trees
* [[Bee]]s - with a good Pollination speed and Flowers: Flower trait
* Grafter / Branch Cutter - for 100% chance of harvesting pollinated leaves. Lumberjack [[villager]]s will trade Proven Grafters for Emeralds. Basic Grafters are craftable in [[Steam Age]], better durability options available with magic or technology. Branch Cutters have much higher durability than Forestry Grafters. Thaumium/Void grafters can be enchanted / self-repair, Industrial Grafter is rechargeable.
==Obtaining Saplings==
Line 44 ⟶ 46:
Fertile Pollen can be acquired by several methods and used to hand-pollinate a leaf block or in the [[Mutatron]]. It should not be confused with the more common Pollen item from the Industrious Bee branch. This type of pollen has no genetic information and cannot be used to crossbreed trees.
* The single-use [[Pollen Collection Kit]] (IV gated) can harvest pollen from a tree with right-click.
* Alveary Sieve in an Alveary can harvest pollen at the cost of Woven Silk.
* Sieve Upgrade in an [[Industrial Apiary]] will harvest fertile pollen from trees in the bee's [[From_A_to_Bee_by_hacatu_and_Rose#Appendix:_Traits|Territory]].
