2. Exit the game and open the config.json file with any text editing program.

- []add_bush: Creates a new bush of the given size. Bushes added by this command will regrow if that setting is enabled.
[
]remove_bush: Removes a bush. Bushes removed by this command will NOT regrow.For more info, see the GitHub readme or use the help add_bush and help remove_bush commands.
