Trees can be set on fire by [[flamethrower]]s and [[flamethrower turret]]s.

	Once on fire, trees cannot be extinguished, but the spread of the fire can be limited by creating a [[wikipedia:Firebreak\|fire break]]. In order to prevent infinite spread the fire will stop spreading after approximately ~~235 tiles~~.		Once on fire, trees cannot be extinguished, but the spread of the fire can be limited by creating a [[wikipedia:Firebreak\|fire break]]. In order to prevent infinite spread, the fire will stop spreading after approximately 100 generations, meaning the first fire is the first generation, the fires it spreads are the second generation, the fires those fires spread are the third generation and so on.

	'''Trees''' are plants in Factorio. They can be mined for [[wood]], and are the only source of it. Trees are obstacles to construction and must be cleared to provide building space, but they also reduce [[pollution]], so take care not to remove more than necessary. Currently, trees cannot be replanted in the vanilla version of the game, though they can be in {{SA}} [[Space Age]]. While [[Nauvis]] has standard Earth-like trees, [[Gleba]]{{SA}} also has alien tree-like structures. [[Vulcanus]]{{SA}} contains ashland ~~trees~~, which yield small amounts of carbon when destroyed.		'''Trees''' are plants in Factorio. They can be mined for [[wood]], and are the only source of it.

	Every single tree absorbs a small amount of [[pollution]] in its chunk per second. If the total pollution in a [[chunk]] is above 60 units, once per second some of the trees in that chunk each have a chance to either lose one stage of leaves or have their leaves become one stage more gray. Regardless of whether the tree loses leaves or gets grayer, 10 pollution are absorbed by the tree.<br>		Every single tree absorbs a small amount of [[pollution]] in its chunk per second. If the total pollution in a [[chunk]] is above 60 units, once per second some of the trees in that chunk each have a chance to either lose one stage of leaves (33% or 50% damage) or have their leaves become one stage more gray (6.7% damage). Regardless of whether the tree loses leaves or gets grayer, 10 pollution are absorbed by the tree.<br>
	A tree stops losing leaves/becoming more gray once the sum of its gray percentage and its leaves lost percentage is above 120%. ~~50%~~ of trees stop their leaf progression one stage earlier. As the grayness and leaf stage are then locked for that tree forever, it is possible for trees to keep some leaves in heavily polluted chunks but in turn be very gray, or the other way around.<br>		A tree stops losing leaves/becoming more gray once the sum of its gray percentage and its leaves lost percentage is above 120%.
