Talk:Pine Cone/@comment-66.65.172.206-20150308065222

If you burn them and then immedately extinguish the fire with a luxury fan or flingomatic (I have not used the second one myself), they will become saplings. (They will still look like pinecones, but the cursor will say they're evergreen saplings. This is useful because you can drop pinecones much closer together than you can plant them, using the control key. When full-grown, this makes for a very concentrated area of trees that can be instantly chopped with the Weather Pain. This is totally my favorite trick now, and makes it worth having to deal with the moslings to get enough feathers for the fan and the weather pain in the first spring. You do have to wait for the trees to grow, but this way the weather pain knocks down every single one. 40 cones -> 160 logs with no chopping and no pigs!
