Hi Nyuton, first of all, thank you so much for your amazing and dedicated work done on LiF:YO. You literally extended this game's life !

I have a question about forest density. When you first start a server with the original map, the initial forest is very dense, lush and varied. Then it changes over time according to settings in cm_forest_maintenance.xml. I understand how it works. What I don't know is which density this initial forest equals to. In other words, which settings (especially total tree density by terrain block, I suppose) would allow the forest to remain as close as possible as its initial state ?

The vanilla cm_forest_maintenance.xml file leads eventually to a much less dense and varied forest than at start, so it doesn't help, unfortunately.

Thank you in advance for your insight, if you can.

If you're adding trees to the map using the forestry script i generally prefer a density of around 45-50k trees however i think when you first start a server the tree density is closer to 60-70k which imo is overly dense and isnt great for optimal performance
