Updates:

- 1.4 compatible!
- Pasture grass and tilled soil now have soft edges, as dirt and grass should.
- They also no longer collect animal filth and dirt as badly as they used to.
- Rejoice! The crafting spot now has recipes to make mixed logs!
- Custom logs now have their own category, finally. Mixed logs are in both categories for compatibility reasons.

Upcoming plans:
- Revert trees back to vanilla. No more custom copies of the real deal. This will require a new game, or at least a new map tile.
- Fix the plants that are throwing errors, like the dreamleaf and the devilstrand. More variety of space weed? I think yes!
- Add astroturf. Fun grass, but it's for the inside!

[ TOX ] Foliage Overhaul 1.0.5

Updates:

- Jabbamonkey textures updated to match the new HIRES textures.
- Missing Jabbamonkey resource textures added.
- Added apple tree. Resource is broken.
- Added granny smith apple tree.
- Placeholder textures created for plants and items that don't have a texture yet to allow implementation and testing. Enjoy the goofy textures, they'll get replaced within the next couple of updates. None of these plants will grow in the wild to prevent you having to see the texture if you don't want to, but you will be able to plant them. That will change when the textures are completed.
- Different log/wood types added.
- Several bugs concerning plants dropping what they're supposed to fixed.
- Fungus types added.
- Anima Grass is now an appropriate size.
- Beer texture fixed.
- Updated for 1.3.
- Several other incorrect texture paths fixed.
- Temporarily removed mod support, because I can't figure out how to get the patches to work for other mods.
- Various miscellaneous bugs that threw errors now fixed.
- Tilled soil now comes in vertical and horizontal orientations.
- Pasture grass added, which is functionally identical to tilled soil with a different texture.
- Fruits are now tasty and enjoyable to eat.
- Potted pincushion cactus now fits the pot better.
- All vanilla trees replaced with a custom version that drops the appropriate wood type. This requires a new save, or at least, moving to a new tile.
- Temporarily removed broken files to remove error logging, they will be added back later when I figure out how to fix them.

Updates:

The power went out so I lost my detailed list, but I did some bugfixes and completed textures for all vanilla plants. The real fun of this mod can start now.

If you find any problems with textures, biome density, spawns, or have suggestions for design or any other comment, please leave a comment below, as I've said before I'm working on this mod entirely alone so I don't have another person to test updates for me and with such a big project I can't possibly test every option myself.

If I missed a vanilla plant, especially let me know! I'm confident I've gotten all of them, but I overlook things sometimes.

I'm still figuring out XML, so I may not be able to fix red errors that pop up, but tell me if you find them as I will try my best anyway. A frequent irritating error I get is that pawns will sometimes stop working on plants and their entire AI breaks, and I'm not capable of testing each and every single plant, especially not when it takes 30+ minutes to launch rimworld and then get into a game every single time I start a game. If you find one, please please PLEASE tell me so I can fix it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roadmap:

The next step involves using the plants currently in the mod to create the intended systems, such as woodworking, textiles, drugs, and cooking. Once all features work as intended with the mod in its current state, I will continue adding plants, as I have quite a few I have plans for adding, at least eighty more.

I intend to replace the need for mods such as vanilla plants expanded, vegetable garden, the regrowth series, underground food, caveworld flora, and so on, with texture support for a handful of biome mods--including alpha biomes. To do this, I need to make the plants that exist in all of these mods, and then make the mods recognize mine and either use my textures (if you still want to use their version, they will be compatible!) or have my plants replace theirs for expanded mods that use the food such as cooking expanded, garden canning, etc.

My reasoning for replacing all of these mods is because my computer is poor and running dozens of mods makes it weep, so I want to make a mod that does it all while still having full compatibility for other people's tastes.

I'm currently working exclusively in textures, XML Defs, and XML Patches, so if anyone wants to offer C# knowledge to assist me to make this easier (Such as a mod menu that allows people to select options and whatnot), I would be grateful as I've never touched that code and I know I'm not ready to try learning it.

The description and images still need to be updated, particularly my credits section, but I've been focused on pumping out textures for the vanilla game and getting those plants programmed in before doing anything else.

I would also love to make season-specific textures, such as snow on plants when it snows, falling leaves in fall, little flowers when appropriate in spring, and certain plants that only grow in certain temperatures or on certain terrain. As of now I don't know how to do any of this and know some of it needs C#, so if someone wants to offer their help, I would be grateful.

Art would also be very helpful, as things like workbenches, furniture, and decor would be difficult for me to draw.

Updates:

- Bush added.
- Pine Tree added. Bigg. :) I want to make a lot of trees big like this, at the hand-off of not being able to be planted side by side. Feedback would be wonderful.
- Birch tree added.
- Expanded out biome patches to make life easier on myself.
- Just made all the trees big, it's awesome. For most trees, wood yields remain the same for the sake of balance despite the size increase. This may change in a future update.
- Temperate Forest now functions as intended.
- Anima tree adjusted so the base of the trunk rests at the hitbox.
- Oak textures replaced.
- Maple textures replaced.
- Teak textures replaced.
- Poplar textures replaced.
- Miss all those textures? Don't worry, I have plans to reuse them for something else down the line.
- Willow added.
- Cypress added.
- Buttercups added to Temperate Swamp.
- Plant density distribution dramatically altered in each biome to visually compensate for the size of the new trees. This may change in the future as new plants are added. Overall biome density unchanged.
- I tried getting some scarce plants to spawn on the Ice Sheet for aesthetics but literally nothing I tried worked. :(
- Drago added.
- Camellia is now considered a bush.
- Fixed raw agave texture.
- Backend fixes made.
- Many item textures replaced.
- Agave now plantable.
- Tilled soil added.
- Glowstool added.
- Raw berries changed to Huckleberries. Right now all berry plants drop huckleberries, but that will change in the future; individual berry types will be used for different things!
- Saguaro Cactus added.
- Tall grass edited to better match the color of the regular grass.
- Potted Alocasia now fits the pot.
- Biome-specific plants replace grass, bushes, and trees in many very hot and very cold biomes.
- Healroot added.
- Aloe Vera added.
- Pincushion Cactus added with a potted variant.

[Auto-generated text]: Update on 3/7/2021 11:16:10 AM.

Updates:

- Agave added.
- Wildberry textures replaced.
- Various small fixes.
- Royalty patch added to Anima things so that the game checks to see if you have Royalty before trying to run them.
- Support for [HLX] ReGrowth removed; couldn't figure out the issues that stopped RG plants from spawning. This mod will take care of the extra foliage, so RG will be unecessary. They won't be incompatible if you want to try running them together anyway, though.
- Dandelion textures replaced.
- Vanilla berry bush changed into a Huckleberry Bush.
- Daisy textures replaced.

Current bugs:

- Temperate forest is not using the density and plant spawns I patched, reason unknown. Other biomes may be doing this, have no tested.

[Auto-generated text]: Update on 3/5/2021 7:17:39 AM.

Updates:

- Plant Densities adjusted again. Storm's Living Biomes, ReGrowth, Tropi[CKAPP], Fertile Planet, Dead's Dense Biomes, Real Dense and Deadly Forests, Better Grassy Biomes, and Forest Tundra referenced.
- Missing plants re-added to biomes.
- Biome islands! plants adjusted.
- PlantSaver patches included.
- Three strains of smokeleaf added, currently only cosmetic, only one plantable. This will get a proper system later.
- Support for More Vanilla Biomes and Rainbaeu's Realistic Planets added.
- White pixels have been removed from all textures for clean edges.
