Tree Breeding: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Tree Breeding is a mechanic from Forestry & Extra Trees that allows the creation of new tree species. While mostly cosmetic, 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.

==Fertile Pollen==

Fertile Pollen can be acquired by several methods and used to hand-pollinate a leaf block.

Fertile Pollen can be acquired by several methods and used to hand-pollinate a leaf block or in the [[Mutatron]].

* The Pollen Collection Kit (IV gated) can harvest pollen from a tree.

* Alveary Sieve in an Alveary can harvest pollen at the cost of Woven Silk.

==Mutations==

New tree species are acquired by mutating the common vanilla types (Apple Oak, Birch, Jungle, Dark Oak, Spruce, & Acacia) together, and then combining the resulting species in new ways. Some pairings can have multiple potential mutations - Silver Lime x Silver Birch can make both Hill Cherry and White Willow, in the right conditions. A few species have humidity/temperature needs which must be met to mutate. Mutations can also be created in the [[Mutatron]] with a sapling and fertile pollen.
