Hehe...ok, I won't be cruel on that one.
Who are you and what have you done with Flowerchild? :P

These trees are MUCH better suited to automation than the others in the game. They present their own challenges mind you (those I won't give away), but the end result of using them in automation is a huge boost to productivity.
That much I'd figured, the dread purpose line was more for dramatic effect. It helps if you imagine a crack of thunder, and a hunch-backed man cheering you on.

Query though - surely one of the main reasons to automate a tree farm is to obtain a plentiful supply of sawdust? Given... some of Blood Wood's proprieties, that feature doesn't seem to be possible. (Sorry, i'm trying to dodge around spoilers).
