Terrain Scatters: Am I Doing Something Wrong?

[RazorWolf19]

So up until recently, i never had any interest in using terrain scatters because my machine can barely handle the game as is. However, when 0.19 came around my game began running a little bit smoother. I turned them on and brought the density up to %100, but when I opened up the game, no trees/rocks were to be seen. I thought maybe it was just the space center, so I went to the tracking station and opened up a Mun Base: same result...nothing. I played around with the slider but it had no effect (%100 is just as dense as %10). Getting desperate, I turned on cheats and strapped a Mainsail onto a tiny rocket and began traveling around Kerbin in search for terrain features. Nothing.

I know the feature works and I've seen how dense it's supposed to be in videos. So... what am I doing wrong? AND, how do i fix it?

Thanks for reading!

They are there, especially on other planets, but the scatters near the space center were pushed way back (like 100km back) to keep them from lagging our launches

You need to go further to find them

Ah, thanks Sal. But when i mentioned that small rocket with the Mainsail, I actually flew that thing all the way up to the North Pole... still nothing.

Is THAT normal?

RazorWolf19, I've yet to see even one tree in any of my saves since 0.18, I saw a cactus, a few rocks, and nowt else on Kerbin.

Other planets seem to be fine though

OK, OK, I give up. You win. Thanks for the reply, it helps a lot

I'm having the same problem. I'm seeing nothing at all on Kerbin, Mün, or Duna. Could be a mod, maybe, though there don't seem to be any threads mentioning this particular issue. :/

Scatters are tied with the terrain quality. Try raising the number of subdivisions and see if that works.
