Vegetation Regrowth and Trampling

How it works

Regrowth covers ground cleared by building or terraforming within 50 m of your camp's core and any of its buildings, wherever you are on the island. Growth only advances in spring and summer. Roads and building footprints stay clear, and the local biome decides which plants come back.

Trampling turns the middle of a path bare after about eight passes. Both you and your villagers leave tracks; standing still, jumping and flying as the raven don't.

Trees, bushes and other resources are not touched.

Installation

Install BepInEx and ASKA Mod Core first (both are listed under Requirements), then install this mod with Vortex, or unpack the archive into the ASKA folder so the files land in BepInEx/plugins/AskaVegetation/.

Linux / Steam Deck: add this to ASKA's launch options in Steam (Windows doesn't need it):

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%

Change them in the game: Settings, the Mods tab, then Apply; the tab follows the game's language. They are stored in BepInEx/config/ArcheeNic. AskaMods.ini. You can also edit BepInEx/plugins/AskaVegetation/aska_mod.ini, but only while the game is running: with the game closed, the stored value wins.

Good to know

• []Progress is kept in your save. If you save after removing the mod, the regrowth timers are dropped; the world itself loads fine.[/]

  []With Instant and Exact Terraforming, regrowth waits until an aggressive terraform has finished.[/]

  []Tested in single player; co-op hasn't been tested yet.[/]

  AI was used to write the code quickly. I designed the mod, thought through how it should behave and put real care into it, so this is not a mod made by AI alone: the AI was the tool that carried out the work and took the routine off my hands.
