Hi all,
Has anyone through trial and error found out which objects are most effective when buried just under the surface to create a "worn out" look to the ground?
Is it large bushes? houses? a certain kind of tree?
I'm working in Borreal theme.
Thanks!

I don't know how it works in boreal but trees work best for larger areas. Bushes The larger the tree, the larger the area it affects. Also the more you plant the more the ground changes. Personally i've been using a mid sized (density-wise) tree and making it a little smaller and using it as an underground paint brush. It seems to create more variation throughout an area that way.

Trees and bushes both work, houses and rocks do nothing. Delta and Autumn theme show a lesser effect of burying, but I think you would have to bury a bunch of objects to get the effect you want. Most of the other themes show nothing or little. You probably already know this but buried trees count take just as much plant meter as visible ones.

Far less scientific for me - with Kegusta, I'd use the Maple, plonk it underground and spam a bit, then move the trees around a bit till the texture is kinda where you want it. Then plant your bushes as per usual, sinking them into the ground and delete if the texture gets too dark. FYI, there are some areas that will just go black for no reason. Never figured out why and nothing I could do would solve that. In that case, it became a 'natural rocky area' out of necessity. Trade secrets there

I had a few spots on Scorched Horizon (highlands theme) that turned black. I think I even deleted the sunken trees underneath and it didn't go away. kind of a weird thing but you just gotta roll with it and make it work. I think the only themes where the sunken object technique really doesn't work at all are Swiss, Rustic, and Tropical.
