Increasing forest density/generating more trees

[user25955]

With Alpha 18, I noticed that there is a huge lack of trees in the forests. I know and have used HDHQ but the issue is that I don't like how low-poly the trees are, I'd just prefer to have the vanilla trees. Any way to mod this in?

Nitrogen has a new feature to increase vegetation by 2x or 4x, see here.

Thanks, would that also help with Navezgane's generation?

No, Navezgane is pre-generated. I have no idea how you could modify forest density for any map after generation.

look in the biomes.xml file

there are probabilities for trees

just search tree and look at some of the values, raise the one you want to

for example, this is taken from A17 biomes but the procedure will be the same for A18

<!-- Decorations Main: Snow -->

<decorations>

<decoration type="block" blockname="treeWinterEverGreen" prob=".003" rotatemax="7"/>

<decoration type="block" blockname="treeWinterPine13m" prob=".002" rotatemax="7"/>

<decoration type="block" blockname="treeWinterPine19m" prob=".001" rotatemax="7"/>

<decoration type="block" blockname="treeWinterPine28m" prob=".001" rotatemax="7"/>

<decoration type="block" blockname="treeSnowyDeadBush" prob=".005" rotatemax="7"/>

</decorations>

you will have to generate a new map for these changes to apply

Yeah I'll have to dig through the files for this, thanks
