This mod reduces the temperature redwoods can grow in from 14°C-18°C to 11°C-15°C. As someone who lives near the northern edge of where redwoods grow, where the average temperature is only ~11°C, it's always annoyed me that redwoods grow in warmer climates than they do IRL, so I went and found the average temperatures of cities across the area where redwoods grow and based the new range off of that. I'm not sure exactly how far north and south they generate with the new range (not exactly sure how to test it), but they do at least generate inside of the entirety of their real latitude range, they just also generate further north than IRL

Omg you are a saint and a scholar! The spawns for redwoods have always bothered me coming from the PNW!

CA-OR border, might have been close to ya. Depends on whether it was up or down. Mad river mean anything to you?

Aljistar Feel free to do whatever you want with it, its such a simple tweak lol

osayra I'm not sure how it'll interact with other worldgen mods, but it shouldn't cause any issues as long as the other mods don't touch the redwood min and max temp. If you open a mod's zip file, you should be able to go to /assets/[modid]/patches/, and see if there's a file called survival-worldgen-treegenproperties.json. If there is, you can look in it to see if it touches anything with the path "/treegens/21/MinTemp" (or MaxTemp)

I'm on the CA-OR border, I wonder if any of yall grew up close to me

I manually combined and tweaked your mod with Lakul's enhanced trees for personal use, would you mind if I posted it on the DB with heavy credits to both of you? I asked lakul also still waiting for response.

DelphiniumBlu As another person from a redwood forest, I agree wholeheartedly. The redwoods I grew in where cold as shit.

THANK YOU I can finally see them with snow like I do in real life!! How does this interact with world-gen mods like World of Fortune?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! As another redwood native, it's so annoying that they made them tropical!
