README

Regenerative Terrain

Inspired by Enshrouded - Terrain and vegetation will regenerate over time

Features

Automatically regenerate terrain and vegetation

Crafting stations will block renegeration so players can safely terraform and build - As soon as crafting station is removed, the terrain will start regenerating

Vegetation on the other hand - If crafting station is nearby, then the vegetation will forever be removed.

1.0.1 - forgot to remove testing logs

How It Works

As the player loads a scene, the game begins the compile the terrain. This plugin patches behind the loading and updating of the terrain compiler to check if terrain has been modified. If so, then it will calculate based on the time modified a percentage ratio to multiply the modifications towards zero - the original values. Once the renegeration is complete, it will remove the timer and set the compiler terrain modifications to un-modified.

The timer is set as soon as something saves a modification to the terrain compiler.

For the vegetation, plugin will get behind the destructible prefab or instantiation of the mine rock 5 component. For destructibles, like MineRock_Tin, as soon as the prefab is destroyed, the plugin will spawn a new prefab that has a custom behavior that grows the prefab. Once complete, it replaces it with a new destructible prefab. For mine rock 5 components, as soon as it is created, a timer is set. Once the timer meets the condition, then it destroys the original and replaces it with the original destructible prefab that spawned the mine rock 5. Example: rock4_copper is a destructible prefab with 1 Hit point. Once hit, it is destroyed and replaced with rock4_copper_frac, which is a mine rock 5. The frac prefab is the one that you mine away into pieces. Since these are two different prefabs, the plugin will set the timer as soon as the fractured version is spawned, and will replace the fractured rock with the original rock4_copper, thus regenerating rock.
