TA3D

... or something like that
on TA there where somewhere to read an unused function
that Solars energy is map variable like Wind Energy the only difference is that the value is fixed and not constant changing

I like the idea, but there should be balance - ither wind or solar energy. Or both at the same time, but not the absence of both.

This could be added but not imposed on maps that don't explicitly require it as it would change the gameplay (or maybe using an option but it makes multiplayer synchronization more tricky).

I've seen something else that was planned by cavedog: growing trees. There are a couple of values regarding growing speed of trees and several growing animations but for an unknown reason it has not been implemented.

As always - they just don`t make it in time )

growing tree's would have been silly but it's animations are still present in ota files.

Well, it seems they wanted to grow trees in order to allow forest to expand which could be interesting, especially if you could sow trees .

Yeah - some kind of "tree teath"

ADD GROWING TREES!

so that we always have fun with burning stuff up

about the Solar diversity or however it was called it is afaik still present in some OTA files but just like growing tree it couldn't do it
