Topic: Amazon : Rare trees

I wasn't sure where to write this :

For all who missed this information, it seems that rare trees grow on most soil where other trees don't. It is suggested on a couple of places, but I have played a lot of Amazon (I play mostly random) And I only learned that today by skimming the site/forum. So I guess that's

• a Tip for Amazon player that didn't know and

• a request to add this info to the in-game help for rare tree plantation and the trees themselves (I could try and change the string in transifex, but I'm unsure if that's the propper way to do such a modification).

Knowing that would have made my game easier yesterday, thankfully I still won XD

Generally speaking, it would be great if the tree growth factor for different soil would be accessible in-game. Untill now I always had to open the editor to get some partial information.

Edit : I just did some tests, they definitely don't grow to adult size on all terrains. Now I'm unsure what to think. desert 4 didn't produce adult rare trees, but did have some young ones that dissapered before growing.

Edit 2 : after more test, I got one mature/old balsa tree on desert 4, after 2h of game time (sped up game with one rare tree plantation and the headquarters) the rest dies at the pole stage at most. dry soil is a bit better. I guess the answer, like all answers, is to be found in the source code ^^ but if someone have it ready on the top of their mind, I'll take that

The growth percentage is accessible through encyclopedia, you can find it in immovables folder. No need to use editor. I personally never had a problem with not knowing where to build a rare tree plantation.

Damn, one clic away from where I was looking ! thank you.

seems like the trees are not that different from normal trees, But after a look at the growth percentage, I understand what I understood wrong.

So basically what I wrote was wrong, they work more or less (but rather more) like normal trees.

I had building space problems yesterday, and for a short time today I thought I could have built rare trees where normal trees wouldn't grow, but that's not the case. Everything makes sense again!
