Shelter tree’s should not provide food and food tree’s should not provide shelter.
Here’s the design goals for the new system, in rough order of priority: So it’s time to take what I’ve learned, throw the whole system into a volcano, and build a cleaner, more elegant and far more ambitious replacement. Unfortunately, I find the current vegetation model wholly inadequate to support my plans for this stuff. Eventually, habitat will be almost as significant as food as far as survival and selection pressures go, one they will need to balance against seeking food in order to survive long enough to reproduce. Let’s put all of these mechanics under the umbrella of ‘habitat’. Lately I’ve been moving towards fatigue, sleep, temperature and exposure to the elements all needing to be much more important survival needs than they are right now. You’ll have to forgive the lack of images and concept art, I ran out of time.
