I am looking for volunteers to help translate the mod into the official languages. For those interested please find the project in the discord link. CSL2:CODEMODS -> mods-wip -> Tree Controller: Translations.
Includes a tree controller tool that lets you change the age or types of existing trees and/or bushes on the following selections:
Please note that changing types of trees for networks is not persistant and revert as soon as anything touches the network. You cannot change types of trees using 'Single Tree' nor 'Whole Building or Net'. Eventually I may remove the ability to alter types of trees with 'Radius' and 'Whole Map'.
For plopping trees and wild bushes this mod adds choice of age(s) and the option to enable random rotation.
For brushing vegetation this mod adds choice of age(s) for trees and wild bushes and sets of vegetation for forest brushes. Some pre-made sets are:
Hold Ctrl to select or unselect multiple types of trees using the toolbar menu. Then hold Ctrl and click the custom set button to save a custom set. Once a set has been saved, click the custom set button to select that set. Hold Ctrl while switching themes to maintain the custom set.
Includes the option to disable tree growth over the whole map but it excludes any trees within specialized lumber industry areas.
To set all trees to Adult and/or Elderly, Select: Landscaping -> Vegetation -> Change Age Tool -> Whole Map -> Select Age(s) -> Right click on the map.
This mod doesn't automatically set street trees or trees in buildings to a specified age, but you can change them with the tool. This feature may be included later.
Includes the option to make deciduous trees use dead model during winter. The dead model is not scaled based on the actual age of the tree. Deciduous tree growth is paused during winter. Specialized lumber industry areas are excluded from this feature.
Please note, you must either disable this option or press the 'Safely Remove Button' to remove the mod safely during winter. During any other season the mod can be readily removed. If you do not enable this option the mod can be readily removed.
Includes the option to use and create custom seasonal foliage colors. You can assign RGB values in CSV files that will be created in a folder the first time you run the mod. The folder is located at %AppData%...\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II\ModsData\Mods_Yenyang_Tree_Controller\FoliageColorData\ . Don't bother altering with the Alpha value at this time. Cultivated city bushes are not included in seasonal foliage colors, but I am interested in modding this aspect.
Algernon and I have collaborated to allow for age, sets, and multiple vegetation types selection using Line Tool.
I will respond on the code modding channels on Cities: Skylines Modding Discord.
