McDeath: /* List of Trees */ Links to Tower-Cap and Fungiwood

{{av}}
{{human}}
'''Trees''' can be found on almost any playable map. Depending whether trees are scarce or dense, they can be a great renewable source of {{l|wood}}. The density of growth is determined by the {{l|biome}}, and those are visible on the pre-{{l|embark}} screen by hitting {{k|F1}}, {{k|F2}} etc. Density does not change - there are no climate shifts during game play.

There are many different varieties that grow in various different types of biomes. The only difference between different types of trees is the (usually very minor) difference in the weight of the log or item produced, and the color of the wood from underground "trees" - otherwise all trees are identical, equal in usefulness and value.*

:''(* Note that {{l|preference}}s can alter a dwarf's perception of the value of items made from a type of wood that they prefer.)''

Viewed on their same {{l|z-level}}, many different sub-types of trees have their own symbol, such as {{tile|♣|#080}}, {{tile|♠|#080}}, {{tile|¶|#080}}, {{tile|╞|#080}} or {{tile|⌠|#080}}. Some share the same symbol, but since the only difference is for preferences, this is not a significant problem. (See table, below, for tree/symbol pairs.) For most purposes, a tree is a tree.

Trees viewed from one z-level higher look like coloured rectangles ( {{tile|■|#080}} ), appearing identical to coloured {{l|block}}s floating in the air. Deciduous trees will change colour to red or yellow in [[40d:autumn|autumn]] ( {{tile|♣|#f00}}, {{tile|♠|#ff0}} ), and lose their leaves in [[40d:winter|winter]] ( {{tile|╞|#880}} ) (controlled by the [AUTUMNCOLOR] tag.) This does not affect their usefulness - they may be cut down in any season, and produce the same end result.

Trees are currently not a source of food or other material, so it is not possible to harvest mangos, maple syrup, nuts, rubber, etc.

===Harvesting / Removing the barrier===
Trees are a type of {{l|map tile}} that forms a solid barrier, like {{l|stone}} or {{l|ore}}. Trees (but not saplings) will block movement, and prevent designation of {{l|channel}}ing, {{l|wall}}s and other {{l|construction}}s. {{l|Caravan}}s are especially vulnerable to being blocked by trees, since they require a path 3-tiles wide and cannot pass within 1 tile of a tree. Trees do not form a floor on the level above them - creatures cannot walk "on top of" trees.

They must be designated for removal from the {{Key|d}}esignations menu chop {{k|t}}rees, which will instruct {{l|dwarves}} with the {{l|woodcutting}} {{l|labor}} enabled to grab an {{l|axe}} and begin chopping down the tree. Once cut down, they become one {{l|wood}} log, which is movable and can be hauled by enabling the Haul Wood labor on any dwarf and designating a wood {{l|stockpile}}.

===Tree growth===
Trees grow from '''saplings''', which start growing randomly on tiles of a suitable biome. Saplings can be killed by heavy {{l|traffic}}, and also flooding. Dead saplings will remain for some seasons, and then disappear - or heavy traffic will trample them away. To grow from a sapling to a tree takes about a year and a half or more, though this seems randomized to some degree. Trees do not need to be (and can't be) "planted" - even if a map is stripped of all trees, new saplings will regrow, randomly and in their own time. 

Saplings will not grow on a tile with items on it (such as stone, food, etc). Saplings will not grow where a road has been laid down. Trees do not appear in biomes with zero drainage.

v0.31:Alcohol

{{av}}
{{human}}

Alcohol is the favored drink of {{L|Dwarves}}, without which they become {{L|thought|unhappy}}. Many dwarves have a favorite drink. Thoughts also imply that dwarves like to have some variety in what they drink. Dwarves will have only preferences for the 4 types of alcohol made from underground crops until they come in contact with drinks from above ground plants.

==Acquiring Alcohol for your Dwarves==
There are three methods of acquiring alcohol, only two of which may be done after one has embarked.
*At {{L|embark}}, alcohol may be purchased with embark points.
*{{L|Trading|Traders}} that visit the fortress will often have alcohol of some sort to sell.
*The third, and most reliable, method requires a {{L|brewer}}, a {{L|still}}, and a working {{L|farm plot}}. Most {{L|crops}} can be brewed into valuable alcohol.
*In a pinch you can also {{L|Plant gathering|gather plants}} and brew them at a {{L|still}} in the same way you would with {{L|crops}}.

==Consequences of a Sober Fortress==

As dwarves are highly dependent on alcohol, a lack of booze over a prolonged period of time will result in a slow-down in almost every aspect of them. For this reason, a steady supply of alcohol is highly recommended for any attempts at a productive fort.

== Brewable plants ==
