If it weren't for your reminder, I might not have known they were better..... I use ebony to build house is not beacause it is better, i use it beacause it is expensive wood on really life and the color of it is my favourite. In reality, I may not be able to afford the furniture they make, but in games, I can use them to lay the floor.
If you try to have better utility, purpleheart is best choice, one tree can obtain a lot of wood, and if all the leaves are destroyed, seeds can also be sustainably obtained. In fact you don't need to explore the forest before you get seed of it. You can build wood farm by purple heart.
In my opinion, this game is better than mod in Mincraft is because it provide more gaming experience. As we can see, it's easy to get unlimited water and the light source that will not go out. In mc, it will be Ultimate goal. I think developers have sacrificed some authenticity for the fun of the game.
From the beginning, I saw that these probabilities are special designs because they have a gradient variation. But i think this it worse decide. Like purpleheart , ebony, kapok and bamboo can only be find in some tropical regions. In a typical opening situation, you need to walk at least over 10000 blocks to get there. This is an almost tormenting experience. When it is difficult for you to find them, you still cannot continue to obtain ebony wood. It really make me sad.
Redwood is the best source of wood. I can get a lot of wood at once. At the beginning, I planned to plant redwood as a consumable, but its astonishing low drop rate of seeds prevented me from doing so.
If we need to put in more work for better things, long growth cycle and higher demand for axe quality is enough. at least i think. I really hope develpoer can increase probability of seed drop by redwood and ebony.
