Grass Fix V5.20

What is this Mod?
Short version: This is a Grass-fixing mod.

Generally-speaking, this mod makes the grass more dense, a little bigger, and grow normally on slopes.

This mod replaces vanilla grass-placement parameters with my own substitutes. I have mildly increased density, affected the maximum rendering ranges, and altered the dimensions of the grass gently in order to make it proportionally wider, which lets the same number of grass objects visually cover a bit more ground.

Because the grass is somewhat taller in the mod, various flowers, trees, shrubbery, and resource crystals have been increased in size buy a multiplier of 1.5x, and their density by the inverse ( 1 / 1.5 ).

Thanks to changes by HG, you can now control whether you use a short render range or a long render range by changing Planet Detail in graphics settings. Standard, Enhanced or High will use the shorter range option, while Ultra will use the longer range option.

Philosophy
I like flush, full grass coverage. I don’t like craggy, patchy grass that looks lousy and unconvincing. I did something about it 🙂

Known Side-Effects
Grass Fix will re-randomize the species and positions of flora.

Grass Fix is not compatible with certain popular mods that change up the biomes, like Redmas’s Fantasy or WoodyMontana’s Better Planet Generation.

Ground Fix will cause the ground textures to split wherever Mountain meets Beach directly, if tessellation is enabled.
