    Trees and customizing your Island.

    Ok ive been playing CE for about 2 months now and one thing has bothered me. Not being able to permantly remove a forest and place it somewhere else. Its frusterating at times when your trying to make your "Perfect World" when your limited to locations to place things because of trees. I have a simple solution for this problem make a new tool like the road destruction tool that will remove a section of forest and places it in your star menu. I have made a short pictorial on how this works below figures 1a-1f.

    1a. The Area to be changed is marked with the red arrow.


    1b. For the purpose of this Idea the wheatfield will be our "destruction tool"


    1c. Same message you already get when destroying a structure.


    1d. Our freshly cleared area.


    1e. The forest gets placed in the star menu so you can place it where you wish in game allowing Island customization.


    1f. Now you can build in your desired location.


    Well this is my suggestion for improving the game. Its a easy impliment as far as the development process goes but will add much more to the game in my opinion. This way people can make there world the way they want it giving a little veriety between you and your fellow players. Feel free to reply if you like my idea or even if you dont, or if you have a suggestion that would make it better that would be great.

    Thank you- Vladmier

    I like this idea. Very well put together. I also liked the fact you went with figures 1a-1f instead of 1-6.

    Very nice work, I never liked the idea of being able to build over stumps cause then eventually you could just run out of trees to cut down. Excellent job conveying your idea and putting this together, + rep

    Yes, very nicely done. I agree with Wallstreet, I have never been a fan of the Stump Removal suggestion, but your idea might almost convince me otherwise.
    There are three classes of intellects: one which comprehends by itself; another which appreciates what others comprehend; and a third which neither comprehends by itself nor by the showing of others; the first is the most excellent, the second is good, and the third is useless. - Niccolò Machiavelli

    If they went through with something like this could help sell some gem packages for people wanting to expand with more building licences!

    Very nicely done! I agree with Wallstreet and Armin, the building over stumps idea was totally not needed this idea is however fabulous! This would be something I push for.

    It was people who had cut all their trees down (due to incorrect ratios of foresters/cutters) and thought they could use that area for space. Just simply plop the building right on the stumps. Bad thing about that soon you would run out of trees to cut down and your island would end up a complete mess.
