Pinecone is an Element found in the Life category. It does not freeze to anything and does not conduct electricity. It becomes Wood at temperatures over 500°C and starts burning into Ash and Charcoal at temperatures over 1000°C.

At temperatures under 100°C, Pinecone has a 2% chance per tick to:

• Grow Roots through soils or Grass
• If the space above is empty, generate Evergreen or Wood depending on height

Technical

A Pinecone's growth and final height is determined by pixel.h = Math.floor(Math.random()*7)*2+6; where h is assigned some even number between 6 and 20.

On each tick with h greater than 0 and temperature under 100°C, Pinecone has a 2% chance to execute the following statements:

• Replace a soil or Grass pixel directly underneath Pinecone with Root
• If the pixel above Pinecone is empty:

• Pinecone moves up one pixel
• If h is even and less than 12, generate an Evergreen pixel directly under Pinecone
• If h is odd or greater than 11, generate a Wood pixel directly under Pinecone

• Decrease the value of h

When h reaches 0, the growth is complete and the Pinecone pixel becomes Evergreen.

History

• Natural Disasters

• Pinecones can withstand higher temperatures
• Evergreen trees now drop Pinecones when burned

• New Year New Use - Bug fix where Pinecone would glitch when growing through Water
• Anniversary Update - Pinecone added, a Sapling equivalent
