Force Spawning Christmas Trees

I moved my buildings, and some wall pieces around, so that a Christmas tree would be forced to spawn on the outer rim.

Then I realized that I was making a mistake. From previous gem box threads, it has been explained that obstacle positioning is random, but pre-determined. If something happens to be blocking it, it simply won't spawn. I thought about this, and realized that I may have actually been preventing a tree from spawning, so I fixed my base.

Are my thoughts on this correct? What do you guys think?

Not enough detail for me :0 btw I usually need a lot of info before I can do anything XD

My Understanding is that yes it is random but in pre-determined spot. My base has been set up so that things only grow on the edge for a while. I know this will limit my chances of getting a quantity of trees however if they do grow they will grow in a place I know I can keep them without affecting my OCD

Actually, it won't limit the chances at all. Obsticles will spawn where there is room for them to spawn irrelevant of any other factors.

I don't believe there has been any definitive statements from SC regarding this.

However, I can't imagine it's true. Otherwise TH10s would see far fewer spawns than say TH3s.

Well I made my base to force it to spawn on the very outer rim and the first obstacle I got was a Christmas tree, a few hours into the update. Maybe I got lucky, but it worked for me so I'm going to keep doing it.

It was either a mod or staff that posted this, but I read that right after one obstacle spawns, the next one looks at your base, and anywhere where an attacker would see red, it won't spawn, minus one red and one open space, and the timer will reset.

Leave your base as-is for the entire update and expect a few x-mas trees.

That's how I feel, too. It may be just wishful thinking on my part, but I did get three tombstones, so it feels like base size doesn't play into special holiday spawns.

Maybe. A xmas tree just popped up in a red spot on my base. I was trying to force it to the other corner of my base by stacking all the walls on the edge. I know headstones would spawn next to buildings so maybe holiday obsticles are different than normal ones?

Probably the best advice we will get.

I've sold all flags and other decorations to make room and so should you if u want a tree.

there is no rocket science involved in this.
