* '''Food plants''' ''(new category)'': Everything that can be harvested for some kind of food.

* '''Tree''': Everything that produces wood.

There is a lot of overlap in these definitions. This are the special cases (I know of) that need to be considered:

* [[Cocoa tree]]s are called trees and can like other trees only be planted every other tile but they can't be chopped for wood.

* [[Bonsai tree]]s are called trees and can be chopped for wood but otherwise don't behave like trees and are meant as a decorative plant.

Plant categories

As you may have noticed I started cleaning up the plant categories. I need a bit of help regarding the categories and their definitions. Here are some definitions as I would understand them:

First of all the plants can be split into:

  • Domesticated plants: All plants that can be planted by the player.
  • Wild plants: All plants that can't be planted by the player.

Secondly plants can be split according to their harvest result:

  • Resource plants: All plants that produce any kind of resources except food and wood.
  • Food plants (new category): Everything that can be harvested for some kind of food.
  • Tree: Everything that produces wood.

Thirdly there are also decorative plants where the definition is particulary difficult:

  • All plants that can be planted by the player and cannot be harvested
  • All plants that are particulary beautiful

There is a lot of overlap in these definitions. This are the special cases (I know of) that need to be considered:

  • Cocoa trees are called trees and can like other trees only be planted every other tile but they can't be chopped for wood.
  • Bonsai trees are called trees and can be chopped for wood but otherwise don't behave like trees and are meant as a decorative plant.
  • Some wild plants can be harvested.
