New Feature: Mowable Meadow

Several people reached out and mentioned that they wish the all decorative grass was mowable. I explained to them that this really isn't standard procedure in the part of the country where the map was located. The grass is thin and burnt up pretty early in the summer and the terrain is unforgiving in most areas. Grass, alfalfa, and crops like these are typically planted in the actual fields and then mowed. For this reason, it was intentional that the grass was not mowable in the sense that it would produce hay.

So, to appease those players, I came up with an alternative. I added another paintable grass texture to match the decorative textures you see all over that map that is mowable and will re-grow. If you are a player that wants to mow some areas that are not actual fields, simply select the paintable foliage called "Mowable Meadow" and paint it down wherever you like. It will match the other grass around it but be mowable. It won't cost you anything either.

I feel like this gives everybody more choice in how they want to play the map, which is always good if you ask me.

Check out the pictures to see for yourself. You can see that when you try to mow the decorative grass it just wipes everything down to the ground texture versus mowing the painted meadow grass.

Don't forget about photo contest on Discord. Those images need to be submitted by midnight (CST) on Saturday.
