Nat's Trees Enhanced

This mod adds placeable trees and plants that don't remove grass when placed. The idea for this was to have a tool that would let me build a forest village without foundations effectively removing all trees = no tree village. I wanted it to look as seemless with the vanilla environment as possible and this is the result. Over time I also added vanilla plants and other clutter.

How to get:

Gardener - plants

• unlock through the Knowledge tab, it's under Decorations (you need a Peasant feat = lvl 18)
• cheat it in through the use of Scroll (Gardener) that admins can spawn
• it's located in construction hammer under Decorations -> Nat's Trees (Plants)

Arborist - general trees

• unlock through the Knowledge tab, it's under Decorations -> Gardener
• cheat it in through the use of Scroll (Arborist) that admins can spawn
• it's located in construction hammer under Decorations -> Nat's Trees and Nat's Trees (Clutter)

Master Arborist - very large trees

• given the size of the trees, this one is admin spawned only -Scroll (Master Arborist)
• it's located in construction hammer under Decorations -> Nat's Trees (Large)

Other features:

• increased render distance to be on par with foundations (trees only and clutter only, plants have same render distance as placeables)
• custom widget to allow you to scale the trees and plants as well as, in some cases, change their color (the icons have a color wheel cue for these cases)
• trees and plants move with wind (there are a few exceptions)
• most plants bend as you walk through them (immersive, though funky sometimes :D )

Currently included:

• pretty much all vanilla trees, some with snow variants (these only have snow in snow regions)
• clutter like tree trunks, stumps, logs, branches.. (some have variable texture based on the region)
• most plants, bushes, shrubs and grasses

FAQ:

Q: I can't select a placed plant. A: Aim the cursor down to the very base of the plant, it has a fairly small and flat selection area around it's base. This was neccessary to prevent IK to kick in, forcing character's feet up into the air as if the plant was a boulder and not a fragile plant.

The mod uses a ModController so should be compatible with other mods, there are no edits to vanilla assets, just a merge with vanilla data tables.

The mod should work fine in SP, COOP and on Dedicated servers as well.

Data Table ID range: 3330000-3330400 Cleanup: All blueprints have "NatsTrees" in their name, should you need to identify them for a cleanup script.
