Regenerative Forestry
Regenerative Forestry is a Commerce Age Asian Market technology in The Asian Dynasties. Chinese and Japanese research it after Water Wheel; it improves Villager Wood gathering from trees and Mango Groves, and Timber Trade is the next technology in the line. Indians receive Water Wheel and Regenerative Forestry automatically for free.

Effect
For Chinese and Japanese, the research costs 75 Food and 75 Coin and takes 15 seconds at the Market after Water Wheel. It increases Villager gathering work rate from trees and Mango Groves by 10%. The effect applies to Wood gathering from those sources rather than every Villager task. The Indian free automatic access does not require the same paid research sequence.
Research condition
The Asian Dynasties; Commerce Age; Chinese or Japanese Market after Water Wheel; 15 seconds; 75 Food and 75 Coin; Villager Wood gathering from trees and Mango Groves +10%. Indians receive Water Wheel and Regenerative Forestry automatically for free.
Research decision
Research it when workers will continue cutting trees or gathering from Mango Groves long enough to repay the resource cost. If the economy is about to shift away from Wood, the immediate cost may be better spent elsewhere. Chinese and Japanese should account for Water Wheel as the prerequisite and can then progress toward Timber Trade; Indian players should treat the free grant as a civilization rule.
A prerequisite in the Asian Wood-upgrade line
Chinese and Japanese must research Water Wheel before Regenerative Forestry. Timber Trade follows it, so the technology is part of a progression rather than an isolated bonus. Consider the remaining Wood-gathering horizon before investing in the sequence.
Indian access is automatic
Indians receive both Water Wheel and Regenerative Forestry for free automatically. Do not apply the Chinese and Japanese Market cost or prerequisite sequence to the Indian civilization. The gathering effect still concerns the named Wood sources, not every resource task.
