When the mine laying biters attack trees they don't seem to damage the tree and so just keep on shooting it, adding more and more mines. Using vanilla equipment and full shields these stacks can get big enough to instant kill you.
Could the mines either destroy the tree via script or do a tiny bit of projectile damage on impact so the tree is killed.

K, I'll look at adding something like this.

Thanks. We only found it playing a maze world mod so there was far more biters getting stuck and players moving down those exact paths

Okay, I've implemented a check when mines are placed and trees get removed is a small radius around them. Hoping this will resolve this issue. Please let me know what you find.
