When do we get to see some development pics of the trees? :D my friends always saying "really? This game needs new content and your thinking about trees?"and then I'm like but but!then I change subject and I'm like"we got two new bushes !" Then I run up to one and stare at them (while my friends are in a firefight;) The new bushes are cool and so is the new snow frosted grass you sneaked in 1.4 but I notice! Just be nice to see the new plant life instead of it sneaked in also:) |

I want to play in an alien forest. Big trees, small clearings with no room for tanks and dropships, and limited sight-lines. We could fight in the canopy and on the ground. |

You are aware trees would find it rather hard to survive against ob s which get dropped regularly. |

This is an important topic as if they get flowers and friends right they could populate the different planets with strange plant life that would make each battle location feel different. They need to run a programme that churns out like 10,000 procedurally produced trees. They can be anything from a blue blob on the ground to mini oak trees with orange leaves or a giant purple phallus - it's alien so the parameters can let it run wild.
You then need to make them destructible - simply have them knock over and fall flat to begin with.
Hey presto - massive map variation and awesome sci-fi feel.
Easier said then done perhaps...

I remember seeing a kind of mushroom tree they showed off at Fanfest last year - looked cool.
Devs - any more news on this or is Flowers and friends on the back burner? Can you show us another tree design? |

Maybe they are working on making them fall over when explodified.
When we get trees I hope to get camouflage. It still gets me we have woodland camo on our spaceships but I have to run around in a bright yellow suit. |

CCP LogicLoop quoted "technical budget" being tight as a cause of trees being late...

I too want flowers and friends in DUST! And little critters here and there too...
I wonder why so many "tree threads" cropping out lately on the forums (counted 3 so far)? Is it the Spring approaching in some parts of the globe?  |

Unless all the trees are procedurally generated it will ruin it since it would be odd to see a mushroom tree on one planet and then travel a hundred lightyears to see the same species - it would mean that humans have become very bad at species contamination and you'd have these mushroom trees growing all over the galaxy like a weed.
Maybe there could be a PvE mode called 'Weeding' where you clear an area of harmless mushroom trees. |

+1 on the weeding idea, as eco terrorist and environmental fanatics could add an interesting new aspect to the lore. |

As stated above the problem is that the PS3 hardware only has a limited processing budget, most of which is spent on effects and improving the textures / gunplay of the game. Until they are able to improve that or make it cost less they aren't about to risk trees.
They will be even less likely to include trees that are "destructible" any time soon due to the massive extra technical cost. So if they are waiting to add them when they are destructible / movable in some way, then it will be awhile. |

Your freakin standard laser that you've killed me with a dozen times in the last week or so has probably taken out all the vegetation.

You would think those shipping crates would have a hard time surviving them too. I want some armor plates made out of whatever THOSE things are made of. |

The drug's seem to only affect CCP's balance choices... we need it to affect their map creation proccess... more then the development of core mechanics after launching the game from a successful beta |

We are already bad at species contamination, look at the common cockroach, black widow, "wild" horses, frogs, Russian olive trees, Chinese elms, various species of grass... The list goes on... |
