Fire.

lol looks interesting xD
will trees still grow in buildings?

How far along is this? what can it do? what triggers it?

OH HELL YES!
THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!

I actually ninja'd you Brad by about 1 minute.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Burning trees won't ship in the next update, but it's coming along!

Yessss.

Still think the particles for fire should change. I think something more similar to the nanolathe particles would look epic.

On a related note - how close are we to getting trees that will react to the battle, IE, fall down when run over and shot at, etc. ?

Graphic improvements always appreciated. ;D

Hell yeah! Imagine watching planet-wide forest fires from orbital view...

So do the trees disappear once they are burnt down? I think watching a planet slowly get scorched by war would be really cool.

Awesome. bring it on!

Summer is coming

saw the title: was like "noooooo! Uber office caught on fire! omg! is everyone okay?"

So happy that's not it and there'll be flammable trees.

Oshi! Nano and Madsci I think were discussing this with me. I thought, surely that is probably not a thing that will happen.

You can burn the forests to clear for bases! Whoo!

They also discussed reclaiming trees for energy. Will fabbers also do that?

What I'd love, is knowing your enemy is sending bots or an army through a forest, and shooting the forest to erupt flames to burn through it, and cook the army. I'd figure it would do miniscule damage, but tenderizing an enemy couldn't hurt when you end up in combat against them later, it can only help.

If it's anything like TA they will burnt dead trees that, if reclaimable, are worth slightly less energy than unburnt tress.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I see you are one of those men

Notice also how the trees emit light! The light-instancing improvements from varrak/ben are lookin' good!
