LATEST UPDATE ISSUE - PLEASE READ - MARCH 22
Last night I worked on fixing the floating foliage issue for Thieves in a hot fix that also addressed not being able to build on some flat surfaces (you can now)

I used something in the ADK called FIND GROUND. in practice, its to reset the foliage if you make a landscape change to push the foliage ot the ground again. I did this after testing one area with success...to the ENTIRE MAP.

I tested the map after making the changes last night in the in game editor play mode...it all looked stunning. I was super happy so I did the cook over night.

This morning I uplaoded to steam and tested while having morning coffee. EVERYTHING looked great until I hit Rock Island (the island off the main beach head with the Wyverns on it) I saw this MASSIVE foliage ball of trees, rocks and bushes from an entirely different sublevel on that sublevel all balled up....it was terrible.

I did another fix, this AM...removing it from the map.
Apparently FIND GROUND is broken. I found this out in the Dev Channel this AM. so this is going to continue to happen. if you find areas...PLEASE take a screenshot with GPS coords and post it here..

Thank you for your patience in the matter and your help in the resolution.
