Better Biomes mod

[MichaelL.]

Finally gotten around to updating my Fallen Trees (Better Biomes) mod for V1.0.

This mod adds a bit more immersion in the wilderness areas by adding fallen trees and underbrush. Fallen trees can be harvested or picked up (for a seed) only at the root ball - still working out some hit-box issues.

You can use this with existing game-saves, however you will have to go to areas of the map you haven't been before in order to see the changes in the biomes.

This is not a server-side-only mod. If used for multi-player, it must be installed on all clients.

Enjoy!

Beautiful work, each biome I have checked looks great.

Only issue I am having is that most elements appear to be sunk into the ground a little to much and can not be interacted with.  Is this expected/planned?

Or is the hit box for them to small or missing? I can not cut down any of the small bushes or branches.

I've been having problems with the 'harvesting' hitboxes. You can harvest them, but only at the rootball/base area.  Alternatively, you can pick some of them up for a seed.

I'm getting these errors with your mod.

With the new V1.0 b325 EXP (b327 Hotfix) build I am getting a ton of new errors when creating new maps

They look like this:

Yeah.  Sorry about that.   This was fixed with an update.

Unfortunately,  some these "hot fixes" that TFP has put out recently has messed up a lot of mods, causing errors that really arent errors.  Hopefully they'll get things patched up again.    The only thing I can recommend is to roll back your game instal to a previous version until TFP fixes things.

WOW does this add a LOT to the feel of the biomes. I never realized how much of a difference this missing made to the feel of them.

Looking forward to this being updated for the latest release
