Is there any chance you could add compatibility with Industrial Revolution, where the tree saplings from that mod are used to plant trees from this mod?

are there no trees on the map with industrial revolution?

There are trees, when you cut them down you have a chance of getting a Sapling. I want to be able to use those Saplings to plant new trees so I can absorb pollution.

i don't get it.
when there are trees and they are dropping seeds, what's the problem?
( I just downloaded industrial revolution and everything seems fine at first glance except that you additionally get a sapling from that mod )
If i wanted to support that mod, i'd rather start by adding compatibility for at least 5 other of my mods that don't even load with IR.

My point is I want to use saplings instead of seeds in your mod. My idea is to have the normal wood production setup from IR where you have Foresters that create Saplings and Wood, and then use any left over Saplings to plant trees using your mod.

ps: this is just a quick idea. no idea how to implement that or what needs to be watched for in all these mods since i am no modder and also didn't use IR yet.

if/when IR already has a wood/saplings/forest cycle and you only want to use the surplus saplings to plant trees with this mod, would it be more easy and useful to create a new mod with dependencies to both mods instead of requiring one or both authors to change those mods ?

maybe, that new mod could patch trees to no longer give seeds in this mod (setting the factor for seeds per tree to 0 instead of >=1; needs checking whether that can cause a division by zero somewhere, or even directly set the factor in the mod options to a 0.0001 chance and live with getting an occasional "real" seed once per year) and introduce a new assembler (or a new recipe for vanilla assemblers) that turns saplings from the other mod into seeds from this mod ....

since the Fantario mod also has a wood production chain, maybe the same or a similar "conversion mod" could be used for Fantario seedlings as well, and/or that "conversion mod" could replace the wood chain, making wood with this mod instead of an assembler. and of course, there are even more mods with wood production chains (bobsgreenhouse, etc).
