Forest missing from sub-arctic game

Post by trainrover »

Trying out a second sub-arctic scenario only this time there's no forest anywhere..lots of mills and presses but still no wood to be chopped. My first scenario fared better by presenting :tadum: two forests to me. Is this usual or must I be doing something wrong, please? I've never generated my own game in a sub-arctic setting either.

Forests in sub-arctic must be above the snowline: https://wiki.openttd.org/Forest

So if your snowline is too low, or your mountains are too low, no forest.

Which is an extremely silly condition, because it's exactly the opposite of reality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_line

OpenTTD is not a true simulation of the real world. It may be silly, but it does make forests in sub-arctic different in game-play which is likely why the rule was implemented.
Also, it makes nice white forest graphics visible which is worth it alone already :)
