Unearthing the lost rubber tree of Machu Minechu

1st Official Post

    Recently, I was exploring a new IC2 world and found this bizarre creation:

    A single rubber tree, stuck in the ground! I simply had to dig it out (mostly because I didn't have any rubber).

    One crazy rubber tree, eh? It was around this point that my shovel broke.

    As I was digging out the tree, I noticed that its leaves had replaced the dirt the tree was growing in. Better than the alternative, I guess, but what could have possibly caused the tree to grow in this fashion?

    There's a cave in the background here. I see now, the tree must have intersected with the cave in world generation! Wait, what?!

    The size of the hole I made to dig out that pesky tree. Man was that crazy. Any thoughts?


    Another note: These pictures were taken on the "fast" graphic setting, but the rubber tree leaves still had the "fancy" leaf texture. Was that deliberate, or is as buggy as this tree?

    Whoa. The world gen mucked that one up.


    The fancy Rubber Leaves texture is deliberate, it's meant to help the player distinguish the Rubber Trees from the other trees.

    Leaves dont repalce dirt, only air.
    However, probably it spawned the ground layer, dropped in some ore generation > Causes rubber tree generation as well > and then filled up the landscape or stuff? Nice found you got there, for sure :3
