These Alder trees are perfect for decorating wetland areas on my PNW themed maps! Thank you so much!

@Groostav - I think this is something to do with the density parameters of forest brush. I haven't played the game in a couple years though so I don't think I can give great advice on how to work with the brush.

@Greyflame Big fan, you make great assets! Now I will complain: It seems like trees have a kind of "bounding region" where it wont draw other trees when using forest brush. Is this set by you or by forest brush itself?

Any idea how I can get a brush with the smaller alders to give me more density?

The "Alder 06 17m Prop" is missing ...

I used BOB to replace the vanilla alder tree with this and it looks so much better, thanks!

Thanks! Used this asset in my newly released map - Carolina Crossings.

@Araucária I just saw one of these for the first time a few weeks ago! I have a huge asset creation backlog to work through but I'll try to get to it when I can, it's such a distinct tree

Please, could you make an asset of Araucaria Angustifolia (Pinheiro-do-Paraná)? It's a beautiful and ornamental tree, and symbol of my state kkkk thanks for your atention.

Great summary, Greyflame!

@Kago This was already mentioned indirectly, but remember also that texture size is a one-time cost per asset (or per-texture, with LSM) -- not a cost per placed instance. So texture size is somewhat less important for a tree set that you're probably going to use a bunch of all over the place. (Compare that to unique buildings -- if you have 100 unique buildings that you're only going to use once, they can have relatively more triangles, but if they're not sharing textures with LSM then you probably want them to have small textures to keep the total RAM use down.)
Greyflame  [author] 9 Nov, 2020 @ 11:40am 
Kago - thanks! My understanding of it is: Texture size doesn't impact your performance much as long as your total memory usage doesn't exceed your RAM capacity. If you exceed your RAM capacity, it has to start offloading the work to other system components which can start having a major impact. So texture size is mostly a concern if you're limited on RAM; otherwise you can mostly ignore it.

Tri count, on the other hand, is basically always relevant.

I've found balancing performance for Skylines to be very difficult though, because a lot of performance issues are caused by strange issues under the hood. The game also seems to struggle with overlapping entities in particular, so a few large trees on screen typically perform better than a bunch of little trees, even if the little trees have more total tris.

TL;DR: tri count xD

You are my favourrite tree creator, always keeping a balanced between optimization and good looking. Thank you.
I wonder: whats is most demanding to the game, tri count or texture size? I have way too many trees and I should start unsubscribing from those that arent balanced between tris and texture size.
Thank you for these :D

Wonderful! So nice that you always put these in packs so there's variety without needing a bazillion subscriptions.

I was waiting for an Alder so long, thank you! Literally the last default tree that grows in my build.

This is an absolutely wonderful tree! Can we also get an autumn version?

Perfect. I was just revamping my tree collection yesterday and I was disappointed that there were no alder trees on the Workshop. These are gonna be great!
