Sacred rubber sapling "ruined" my world... what can i do?

[1M Industries]

I am really confused. You guys are saying that the tree drops saplings, and I am not getting any, even with Fortune X. (It is a semi creative world.)

No, we weren't. I doubt any of us checked. It's funnier that way.

I actually made a base in one a while back. Yes, it was a bit laggy on my monster of a behemoth of a computer, but it was fun. Saplings used to drop, but i haven't tried it yet lately... don't have that behemoth, due to blown capacitor and no money to replace motherboard, so i doubt my laptop can handle it.

Okay. I think I have misinterpreted a previous comment.

I got a sacred rubber sapling, watered it and then bam... a normal rubber tree, so depressing.

I'm sorry but I couldn't help but laugh, that's the funniest thing I've seen all day!

I'm so sorry!

I'm not sure if I did read it somewhere or it was just in my own head, but there was a discussion about normal rubber trees dropping sacred rubber tree saplings, but those are just display bug.
The only way to get a sacred rubber tree sapling is through dungeon chest loot.

When I walk through my rubber tree farm, about half of the planted saplings display as sacred rubber saplings in WAILA, but of course they are all normal saplings. So there is some metadata conflict going on.

There used to be a bug where normal rubber saplings would sometimes display as sacred ones but that's been fixed for about as long as this thread has been abandoned.

Forgive me for adding to a dead thread, but if you want to remove a sacred rubber tree, can't you just use a bedrock axe from RoC? I think it's the only tool that can remove a full one.

While it is true that Reika fixed the bedrock axe so that it won't crash the game by recursively changing far, far too many blocks at once (it now chews through wood and leaves at about 20 meters per second), it still drops the wood blocks and saplings on the ground. It's probably the safest way to remove such an insanely large tree in a reasonable amount of time, but that's not to say it won't crash your computer anyway. Now, if there was something like the Blood Magic zephyr ritual with a large enough range to cover the entire tree, or something like the Coin of Fortune from Xeno's Reliquary with the same range as the bedrock axe (both of which teleport items to a chest/the player instantaneously)...

Oh, so you need to have dozens of vaccum hoppers / hungry chests / etc on the ground before you swing that axe?

While that will help some, it won't help as much as might be necessary, depending on your computer. The Coin of Fortune and Call of the Zephyr have the advantage that they collect items instantly, so you don't even need to worry about items falling to the ground causing lag.

The Call of the Zephyr also has the largest range of any item collector that I know of, except maybe a jet-powered RotaryCraft vacuum. That's important because... do you realize how many thousands of hungry chests you'd need to blanket the ground under one of those trees?

Why would you kill such an awesome thing, though? I'd build a house in it! I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to live in what is essentially Yggdrasil?

 

[ljfa]

Doesn't fast graphics work on the leaves properly?

No. How many?

For that matter, I don't know the range of ThaumCraft's hungry chest, or ExU's vacuum hopper, nor do I really know the power/range of RoC's item vacuum as power gets large.

But only with a handful magnum torches, or the top of the tree is crawling with mobs

 

[Blue]

as a server owner, i really hate this tree

 

[Lordlundar]

I believe the actual number starts in the thousands.

Well, from the map screenshot on the first page of this thread, the radius of the canopy of this thing appears to be about 13 chunks, or 13 * 16 = 208 blocks. Therefore, its area (or, more specifically, the area under it) would be pi * 208^2 = 135918 square blocks. Since hungry chests only collect items that touch them directly, you'd need more than a hundred thousand of them to collect all the items dropped from the tree. Now, granted, you would really only need enough to cover the (still quite substantial) range of the bedrock axe if you don't mind moving them all after every swing.
