@Arisilde That does sound fairly complex, and makes sense for why I haven't seen it done. I wonder if you were able to make the trees like this and have them function like trees, if it would be best to add a new tool to the game specifically for cutting down large trees, such as a felling saw, and maybe another tool for harvesting individual blocks of wood. I will have to play around with some ideas I guess, since I figure I am going to learn how to mod for this. I need to see this done. I need my giant trees.

I have no modding experience or coding experience, outside of like an hour of HTML training, and have no idea where to even start with an idea like this, but I have been DYING to see a game like this have accurate redwood trees, or trees in general. I understand that a lot of devs look at them and go "yeah, no" because, I mean, they are HUGE and would likely be considered "broken" normally, but I really need a mod that upscales them to realistic sizes. For reference, if the blocks in VS are a meter cube, then an accurate redwood would be somewhere from 10-25 blocks across, and 60-110 blocks tall. I dont know if there is a simple ratio tweak that could make that happen, or if they would need to be completely redesigned, but I know it would create a way more interesting environment. Also, the addition of multiple growth stages, or even just making seedlings take forever and a day to mature, would go a long way to rebalancing them. Just a thought.
