Soooo trees much?

[Avery616]

So i have seen KSP youtube videos that have trees on kerbin and rocks on other planets. Sooooo is this a mod? or is it ingame?

setting in the game, terrain scatter is what is called I believe. Should be in the top left corner of the graphics settings screen.

Yep,it is stock

Yep, enable Terrain scatter in the main menu settings and you can set how densely you want the objects to appear. Note that they are intangible, so they won't affect anything except performance.

Sadly the shadows are bugged in the current version..transparencies have shadows..not too bad but its a bit yuck.

Its fixed in the 1.29 prerelease

100% scatters barely touch the framerate.. Trust me all I do is drive

They add a beauty to kerbin

Note that these are random. Trees and stuff will not always appear even with this option turned on.

Ask it somewhere else, please. It's not the subject of this thread.

Theres a whole thread ill PM you about that

 

Back to trees, im not quite sure theyre random as they were in earlier versions..they used to plaster the landscape with no logic or reason on 100% scatter but I have noticed we definately have specified forest areas and places they dont grow now..eg closer to ksc there is none..they seem to grow in patches?

 

Btw..they are BIG! Like...really big

Well if i can remember the KSC sits on a shore biome. And trees dont tend to grow on shorelines. (well any i know of) Its either that or the Kerbals cut down all the trees nearby to clear and/or get building materials for the KSC. (also a place where you land giant metal flying things and giant things that stick out of the ground dont really...mix)
