Drought seems far too severe to me. Quote, "Trees become dead". All trees? It would be bad enough if it kills all crops. But to also kill all the trees is just too cruel.

Any drought that is severe enough to kill trees would be an extreme - an event that breaks local weather/rain records. Certainly something that severe must last more than a few days or weeks. Even then, such a severe drought would almost never kill all trees.

I speak from some experience: We had such a record-breaking drought a few years ago and it only killed some of them. (It was spotty, but perhaps tree death was between 1% and 5%?) Trees are far hardier than most people realize.

Further, since this is an official Vanilla Expanded mod, shouldn't this event work alongside the plants and gardening stuff added by other mods in this collection?

Among other things, "Vanilla Plants Expanded" adds the Peach Tree and Opuntia, both of which have "Arid Shrubland & Desert" listed as their biome. Shouldn't such trees be rather drought tolerant if they grow in such a climate?

The description for the Drought event compares it with a cold snap: Quote, "...just like a cold snap". But Vanilla Plants Expanded adds Beet plant, which "Does not die from cold." It also adds Cabbage plant, which "Stops growing during toxic fallout, but doesn't die." Likewise, to continue this trend, shouldn't there be some crop which "Does not die from drought"?

What about the Eggplant? It quote, "Receives a growth boost in temperatures above 36C, oetherwise quite inefficient" Also, it has the restriction of "Requires 71% soil fertility". Combined, those do not make the Eggplant sound appealing to me. However, if it also had "Stops growing during Drought, but doesn't die" or similar, that would make it a bit more enticing. (Nevermind the rarity of a Drought event.)

In Vanilla Cooking Expanded, I have to wonder if it would be fair if Allspice and/or Sugarcane should have "Does not die from drought". I've read that Carolina Allspice is drought tolerant. I've also read that there are some varieties of suger cane with drought resistance.

Finally, what about the "Sprinkler" building in "Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Farming"? I mean... it provides water to surrounding plants. Shouldn't such plants be completely immune to drought?
