Tree Planter
The Tree Planter feeds a Lumberjack. It scans valid ground and about every 3 seconds fires an acorn that grows a new tree.

Placement
Section titled “Placement”Valid ground: grass, Corrupt grass, Crimson grass, Hallowed grass, jungle grass, mushroom grass, sand (and variants), ash.
Each candidate also needs:
- 12 empty tiles above
- 2 empty tiles left and right at the top
Do not bury it in a cave. Surface or a wide cavern roof works.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- About every 5 s, scan 50 tiles and remember up to 50 empty spots
- Every 3 s, if UE ≥ 5, pick one at random
- Check a parabola to the spot so a wall does not block it
- Fire an acorn
- After about 0.33 s on the ground, growth starts
- About 0.5 s prepare, about 2 s grow, matching species
- Sand → palm
- Ash → ash tree
- Other grass → ordinary tree (Corruption / Crimson / Hallow / Jungle variants)

Lumberjack Cycle mode also replants, but the Tree Planter covers a wider area. Desert or ash land can grow palms or ash trees on purpose.
