an alternate living tree

Introduction
"Standing among the chaos of the world are towers of might and security. They have stood for ages -- bearing witness to the creeping darkness. But their halls still whisper of peace and serenity."
Warning! This thread is kind of massively small. Ha, that's right. Small.
Welcome to the Archaic Tower! As you probs know already, this is an alternate to Living Trees. My alternate work has become large enough now that a lot of things have alternates and a lot of those things are pretty deadly to the player. So I assumed it was due time to provide something a little more beneficial to the player to take some of the edge off.
So Arachic Towers function almost identically to Living Trees. They take up a lot of vertical space, they host a chest and some furniture, and you can utilize them for your own benefit. There are a few differences. The major difference is that Archaic Towers have 1-5 (based on the tower size and the world size) empty rooms, not just 1. And that's pretty much it. Horribly game-breaking, I know -- RIP Balance, cue crying.
Hope you enjoy it anyways!

This is a suggestion. And as such does not assume anything definitively. This means...
Balance is a non-issue; the numbers are provided to elicit an idea of what values an object could have. If the not-set-in-stone-imaginary numbers upset you, you're welcome to suggest other numbers, but they have no bearing on the suggestion changed or not.
Sprites are a non-issue; sprites have been provided, like balance, to help imagine the suggestion as a concept. In no way are any of the sprites final. Just like the numbers, they too are not-set-in-stone-imaginary things. This means that recolored, spliced, and unique sprites have no ultimate bearing on the suggestion. If any particular sprite upsets you, you are welcome to provide one of your own to remedy the not-actually-an-issue so that I may reject it.
This is an alternate. This means that Archaic Towers can spawn in a world instead of Living Trees. It does not replace Living Trees. As an alternate, Archaic Tower additionally does not mirror the values or gameplay of Living Trees in a 1:1 ratio. It is it's own biome, not a recolor or reskin. Archaic Tower is also NOT an expansion. There is no additional content. Content included in the Archaic Tower is a counterpart or replacement of existing content given to Living Trees.
Lastly; as an alternate (and not an expansion or replacement), Archaic Tower does not assume to redefine class balance. I'm sorry if your favorite class isn't represented well in the suggestion. If Living Trees represented all classes equally, so too would the Archaic Tower.
Addendum:
1. I am currently not interested in converting my suggestions into mods. Thank you for the consideration, but I'll have to pass.
2. If you wish to use my unique sprites, you MUST ask for permission first.
