Plant categories

As you may have noticed I started cleaning up the plant categories. I need a bit of help regarding the categories and their definitions. Here are some definitions as I would understand them:

First of all the plants can be split into:

• Domesticated plants: All plants that can be planted by the player.
• Wild plants: All plants that can't be planted by the player.

Secondly plants can be split according to their harvest result:

• Resource plants: All plants that produce any kind of resources except food and wood.
• Food plants (new category): Everything that can be harvested for some kind of food.
• Tree: Everything that produces wood.

Thirdly there are also decorative plants where the definition is particulary difficult:

• All plants that can be planted by the player and cannot be harvested
• All plants that are particulary beautiful

There is a lot of overlap in these definitions. This are the special cases (I know of) that need to be considered:

• Cocoa trees are called trees and can like other trees only be planted every other tile but they can't be chopped for wood.
• Bonsai trees are called trees and can be chopped for wood but otherwise don't behave like trees and are meant as a decorative plant.
• Some wild plants can be harvested.

Any thoughts on this? --Ickputzdirwech (talk) 11:22, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
