is there a way to include other ores so trees do not develop/die when on ore fields?

typo

Technically I can check for any ore, practically it will decrease the performance quite noticeably on big maps just adding that feature. The check for uranium is already a large portion of the time it spends, adding that for any or all ores is not a good idea.

So for the time being I'll shelve this as not going to implement unless a significant amount of people comment below that they want this specifically.

if it's a performance issue is there a way to disable the uranium ore check?

It is not a performance issue when checking for just one ore in this case of uranium. Adding more checks has an exponential effect on performance.

The setting "Kill trees near unwanted" will disable these checks.

won't that disable killing trees near player entities?
