      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too!

      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

What is the point of dry grass

I know dry grass doesn't let trees planted on it grow, what about crops though and can you get rid of it? If I could fertilize it all it would be a nice empty field for me to grow stuff in. Other than that why is it there?

It's there because it's not wet, you're looking at things backwards.

No, wet it or not depends on rainfall of the area.

Terraing generation needs a bit of tweaking, Bioxx is aware of that.

And the dry grass is just a visual indication of low rainfall. Trees and crops DO grow there.

Sweet, that might explain the Douglas Fir near the border. Now there is no point of it, any known plans?

This is like saying 'what's the point of a desert, I can't grow crops on it' or 'jeez I can't even walk on the ocean Bioxx fix please'. Dry grass generating in a swamp is a bug, but dry grass generating in areas of low rainfall is a feature.

Yeah, this is what I mean. Also, why not? Dry grass makes the world look better and more believable. Dry grass adds +1 to the difficult level of the game. Dry grass is also a new grass type. I'm bored of seeing only green vanilla grass...

Actually, according to the change-log for the newest build, beta 67, dry grass now most certainly has a use. That use is to indicate areas of low rainfall. Additionally, dry grass is by no means a permanent thing and can be eliminated by placing a water - source near it. According to the change-log:

  • Dry grass will now turn into normal grass when there is a local source of water.
  • Normal grass will now turn into dry grass if the rainfall of the region is below 500mm and there is no local source of water.

I have to disagree with you there. :)

Ok, not better, but more believable. And some people like dry grass then they can see a better world...
