Hi folks,

i have a "problem" so i hope this is the correct category. :)

I've added a node as decoration with a spawn_by flag since i wanna have it beside forests.
I played with noise_params similar to the mtg mushrooms too but i didn't got rid of the following problem:
The node does only appear beside the spawn_by node but i wanna let is spread a bit to all sides/into the next biome if possible.

If it is possible, i would be very happy to get help here! <3

'spawn by' only works for immediate neighbours within a radius of 1 node. It was designed for, for example, papyrus growing on grass that is within 1 node of water (as in mgv6).

seems you need two strategies. one for the initial placing and one for spreading colonies near these first pioneers. The pioneers might only spawn on certain nodes in certain biomes while the colonies might spread into other places just excluding certain nodes or biomes.

but then again,
you're probably doin' that allready
