Each variation of vegetation has a chance to be coupled with effects that can be very rewarding or extremely troubling. All small versions of trees do not carry effects as they were not full grown when the LITD timeline began. The three affects you may find include diseases, seedlings, or coconuts. ## Disease Effect The disease effect is found on parcels that harbor dead trees. Diseases sprout onto random trees and begin spreading to other trees after a time interval. Vegetation that is affected from diseases have decreased wood value, meaning when they are harvested for production, they will collect less than without the disease. If untreated, the disease can fully eliminate the vegetation it has spread to. Deal with it quickly to limit the damage and prevent catastrophe. Maybe there's something else than can be done with infected trees... ## Seedling Effect As it stands in the LITD universe, vegetation will sprout in any place where there is not existing vegetation or constructed buildings. However, if you are lucky enough to have full grown trees on your parcel, you will see seedlings drop when you clear them for production. You can collect these seedlings and plant them in specific locations, allowing you to control the growth of trees and create more space on your parcel. ## Coconut Effect How the hell did those coconuts get there? If you find palm trees on your parcel, there's a very good chance you may see some odd coconuts appearing all around. Each coconut contains something unique inside. Is it money? Is it a boost? Is it food? Or is it something completely different? Crack one open and find out! --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://light-in-the-dark-1.gitbook.io/litd/land-elements-and-mechanics/vegetation/vegetation-effects.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
