best place for them is in the forests - that way they can tell if trees really do make a noise when they fall down

Sorry only anecdotal evidence here of the single forest reproducing. It does not happen very often, though there is probably code that increases the chances of new growth based on how many adjacent tiles are already forested.

This seems to be the case to me. If you have one forested tile, there is a small chance per turn that an adjacent tile will grow a forest. The more forest tiles that are adjacent to a plain one, the more likely it will grow a new forest.

This is probably akin to the odds of discovering a mineral resource under a mine you are working: small enough that you shouldn't count on it, but large enough to make it something worth thinking about when you develop your tiles.

Thanks

And I seem to recall that in SMAC it only took one forest hex to make another. But it spread faster if you planted two or three. Looks like they haven´t changed that...

Only if he had my weed on him and was on the way to deliver it....
