Re: Add mangrove trees
Here is the mangrove biome from my Australia MOD and soon to be launched 'Outback' subgame.

Re: [Mod] Australia 0.4
Actually, I think the ABM method could be simple based on the existing grass spread function in default mod. Either edit this ABM or create a new one. But will it pass the "does it look pleasing to the eye" test? -- -- Convert dirt to something that fits the environment -- minetest.registe...

Re: [Mod] Australia 0.4
I agree that transition is hard. I can see a use for a dirt-with-dryish-greenish-grass but how to blend that between two biomes? I don't want to create more biomes. I originally had planned about six more, but it was getting difficult to make each one unique. Well, I thought of more using this new ...

Re: [Mod] Australia 0.4
Gives good result for a lot of regions. But some of the hills can be very steep and long. If rivers appear there, it looks even weirder. Sorry, no coordinates and seed for you, I may post one if I find such a hill again. But it's better than my settings. My mapgen settings were just a quick and dir...

Re: [Mod] Australia 0.4

With a bit of clearing beforehand around the area, I suggest burning the large trees down to save time felling them.

Hi Paramat,

But I can't figure out how to make it appear on top of an existing hill/mountain. It only works at y=1
Your help is much appreciated.
