Poplars in Autumn
🕑 Added 2025-05-22 13:16:58 +0000 UTCThat is 8 riverine trees now set down...with gorgeous autumn colours on top of that. 4 white and 4 black poplars.
That takes us over to half the alloted sprite budget! Wow I need to conserve plants. We need nettles, driftwood, willows, alders and one elder. Might add an extra reed or a mossy rock?
Anyway, you might notice these trees are quite tall unlike daggerfall's native stumpy trees. Well.
Trees grow bushy in meadows, but their canopies are taller there where they compete for light, so they grow tall and dense. This will make traveling through daggerfall's wilderness more different as less sprites will be directly in your face, with the canopies blocking weiv will be further up. The effect will look best with wilderness overhauled due the higher density of plants.
This will go for all dense forests going forward in det. Bushy trees will go for forest edge and meadow biomes!
For rivers, we'll also have bushier elders alders and willows!
