Follow these steps carefully to ensure success. Note that it can be a bit tricky to figure out and setup, make sure to use a test map first, and you have a decent knowledge of the Editor. == Step 1: Verify Map.i3d Setup/Coding == Ensure your map.i3d file contains the following section. This will ensure you have the *basic* scripts needed: {{CollapsibleCode|code=<ProceduralPlacement> <Types...") Tag: Visual edit

The file ending .xml indicates that a files content is structured using XML, but a file can still be structured in XML even if it has a different file ending. Understanding the concept of XML, how information is structured and what individual parts are named is important for FS modding as the two most common files used in mods - xml and i3d files - are both structured in XML. Additionally many pages and tutorial...") Tag: Visual edit

There are effectively two different kinds of foliage types in the game: * Decorational foliage types - foliage like eg bushes that does not grow and cannot be planted/sown * Fruit types - foliage that can be planted/sown, grows and can eventually be harvested Adding them to the map is very similar for both, though the foliage xml requires more information for fruit types and fruit...")

This can be done as part of a map mod or as part of a different mod, like a production. Adding the fillType is mostly the same for both types of mods. Fill Types can somewhat be split into two categories: * Pallet only fill types * Loose fill types Fill types are added via a "fillTypes.xml" file. In maps this is usually named "maps_fillTypes.xml" for other mods it can be named something else, but should contain "fillTypes"...") Tag: Visual edit

The number of ground angles defines in how many different orientation field ground textures can be (eg cultivated ground, plowed ground, etc). The basegame maps have 8 ground angles.
