Savannah

Savannahs are among Earth's most important biomes, covering about 20% of its land surface. Generally a subtropical semi-arid mix of open woodland and grassland, savannahs range from mere shrub fields to lush forests. Civilization does not represent a lot of variety in the more habitable terrains.

This mod aims to change that at least a little by adding Savannah as its own terrain feature to spawn on desert tiles, making them more useful and allowing a wider variety of resources to spawn there, creating a better transition between fertile plains and the rather inhospitable sand dunes. But beware of desertification! If you remove the feature for a quick boost of production material, you will quickly be left with just barren rock.

Does not require any expansion but is compatible with all DLC.

"High-Detail Clutter" must be activated in the graphics options for Savannah to look like it does in the pictures.

I recommend using this mod together with Vegetation Diversity. With both mods active, Savannahs will blend into adjacent Woods and Rainforest seemlessly, adding even more flavor to vegetation. For improving Desert Hills more, check out Stone Rocks!

Compatibility with Sukritact's Urban Identities: new Savannah region type and Silvopasture identity type.
