Emperor Bamboo

Description
Add a large variety of 'emperor bamboo' trees that have a chance to appear in tropical moist broadleaf forests.

It produces less wood than most normal trees when cut down, but grows very fast so it's highly renewable. It's tied with candlenut for density, so its light weight make it a good material for making portable objects like bins and stepladders out of. It also has some value in that it appears in some biomes where other lightweight types of wood don't.

F.A.Q.

Q: I embarked on a tropical moist forest and there's no bamboo, you lied to me!
A: Dwarf Fortress doesn't add every potential species to every possible biome, rather each region gets a random selection. Some tropical forest will get bamboo, some won't. This is working as intended.

Q: Do pandas eat this?
A: Probably not. (a) this bamboo and pandas don't share any biomes, and (b) this is coded as a tree, not a grass, so they probably can't eat it anyways. I did add the appropriate token to pandas just in case, so I suppose there's the outside chance that if you live in a jungle with my bamboo trees and acquire some pandas from the elves, they *might* be able to eat the saplings.

Q: Why?
A: Why not? Also I wanted a chance to do a dry run of how to upload a mod to Steam and get everything working correctly.

@Teirdalin Sure, go right ahead.

Mind if I use this raw as a base for some mosu bamboo in my japanese overhaul project?

Don't thank me, thank whoever made the mod that's giving me a CTD that caused me to go hunting in logs. ... I'll let you know when I find him. :D :D

@Nanban Jim Thanks for the heads up, fixed and uploaded a new minor version

Slight typo:
This kept showing up in my errorlog.txt : EMP_BAMBOO:Unrecognized Plant Token: TWIGS_SIDE_BRANCES
Modified plant_emp_bamboo.txt to include the H in TWIGS_SIDE_BRANC H ES I no longer get that error.

@nikro412956 They should spawn exactly the same as other trees. Any given region with the appropriate biome has a chance of having bamboo trees as one of its randomly selected tree types. In any region where bamboo trees are present, you'll have bamboo saplings randomly sprouting, and if there's enough room around them they'll eventually grow up into trees.

How do bamboo tree's spawn? Do they need an existing bamboo plant or do they randomly popup on the map if there once existed a bamboo plant?

Version 1.02: added the tag to pandas to enable these as food for them. It probably won't do anything because (a) pandas don't share any biomes with these bamboo trees, and (b) they're coded as trees, not grass, so I don't think they'd eat it anyways. But it was a simple one-line edit, so it was easy enough to do. I suppose if you embark somewhere with bamboo trees and come into possession of some tame pandas, there's the outside chance that they could eat the saplings (I didn't have any forts with tame pandas to test it with, so let me know if anyone finds out one way or another).
