I am not sure if this is a bug or intended so I am asking here (tree craft)

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to make a really big cherry tree and tried to see how big the fruit trees would becomme if you craft additional cuttings on it.

But every single tree died. Not the cutting, the entire tree.

This confused me a bit because nowhere, not in the handbook or the wiki or any other place I could find did it say that the entire tree is at risk. Because of this I planted a new batch of trees (8 apple and 8 pear) and once they were grown I craftet cuttings on them. 4 trees of both fruits with one crafted branch, 2x the same tree and 2x the other (pear on apple and reversed). The remaining 4 trees of each type would get 2 crafted branches but otherwise be the same.

 

The result was that the Apple trees with apple crafts and the pear trees with pear crafts would either all succedd or the entire tree and all crafts would die. But for the mixed trees (apple tree with pear craft and pear tree with apple craft) the trees stayed healthy and only the crafted branch died or survived, dor the trees with multiple crafted branches the branches could survive independently of the other branch dying or not.

 

My Question: Is it intended that crafting a branch and a tree that are of the same type risks the survival of the entire tree or is that a bug?

Sounds like a bug to me. I think the tree grafts are mainly meant for creating mixed-variety fruit trees, but the concept should work the same for the single variety trees.
