Destruction/Creation of an Average Forest

[Celestial_Pegasus]

We have destruction of a tree on the references for common feats, yet we don't have a value for destroying an average forest despite the fact that it's a common feat.

According to this, a forest has to cover about 1.24 acres of land, so we have a measurement here, so why don't we have what exactly destroying/creating a forest is?

What formula should be used to calc it that anyway, provided we know how big the forest is? Would be helpful since off the top of my head, i can think of 2 verses i made/will make that involves creating a forest, both of which have stated sizes for the forest.

A bit late for this, but:
I would personally use this to find how many trees are in an area, then multiply the destruction value.

 

[Furudo_Erika]

Using the 10 x 10 one for reforestation, that gives us 435 trees per acre.

1.24 x 435 = 539.4 trees
Minimum destruction value: ~9.17e+7 joules
539.4 x ~9.17e+7 joules = ~4.946e+10 joules
(Baseline City Block level)

So creating/destroying an entire forest is baseline 8-B at minimum, or that is how I would personally calculate it.

I did this calc assuming the forest would be destroyed by an explosion/shockwave

Well, that is more of AP from an explosion, rather than the energy needed to destroy the forest itself, it also doesn't really do anything for creating a forest either.

Also, you forgot to half the yield since it was not a nuclear explosion, so that would actually be closer to Building level+

The calc was done through the overpressure method I believe it is called which doesn’t half the yield from all of the other calcs I seen

Huh...you don't half that formula?
My entire life has been a lie, I have always halved the yield with that formula as well.
Oof.

Well, Large Building level is still pretty consistent with City Block level. Though the way I calced it can find an approximate number of trees in a forest that is actually being destroyed or created.

But again, this is how I would personally calculate a forest feat, as it makes more sense to me as I have more accurate data to work with.

You should honestly create a blog for it so we can have a Calc for destruction/creation of an average forest

Alright, I may do in a bit.

8-B, interesting.

8-B, interesting.

8-B+ to be more specific as that is what was accepted.
