More Types of Grass

[Loopest 60]

I think DayZ would look a lot prettier and more authentic if more types of grass were added.

A Few Suggestions:

•Ravine forests (class Carpino-Fagetea, alliance Tilio platyphylli-Acerion; Figs 14f & 15c) occur in ravines and on steep slopes, most commonly in deep river valleys. Tilia cordata and T. platyphyllos, with an admixture of Carpinus betulus, are more common in drier and warmer habitats at lower altitudes or on upper slopes, whereas Acer pseudo- platanus, Ulmus glabra and Fraxinus excelsior with an admixture of Fagus sylvatica and Abies alba are typical of wetter and cooler habitats at higher altitudes, on lower slopes or mountain-tops where is high precipitation. Ravine forests are capable of vegetative regen- eration after disturbances caused by soil erosion or rock fall on steep slopes.

•Vegetation of fens and transitional mires (class Scheuchzerio palustris-Caricetea nigrae) occurs in habitats that are permanently saturated with water and poor in available nitrogen and phosphorus, in which undecomposed litter of sedges, other herbs and mosses accumulates to form a peat layer. Although some fens and transitional mires existed on the territory of the present Czech Republic already in the Late Glacial and remained in the landscape throughout the Holocene (Sádlo 2000), most of them developed at sites of for- mer forested seepages or carrs after deforestation, especially during the medieval coloni- zation of mid-altitude areas (Rybníček & Rybníčková 1974, Rybníčková 1974, Rybníčková et al. 2005, Hájek et al. 2011). This vegetation varies along a ‘poor-rich gradi- ent’, i.e. from acidic, base-poor and species-poor types to species-rich calcareous fens (Hájek et al. 2002, 2006). Calcareous fens with short sedges (Carex davalliana, C. flacca, C. flava, C. nigra and C. panicea) and several species of specialist herbs and mosses such as Bryum pseudotriquetrum and Campylium stellatum (alliance Caricion davallianae) occur mainly in the Carpathian flysch zone and in the lowland areas with Cretaceous marlstone in eastern Bohemia (Fig. 18b), however, in the latter area many sites have been drained. Other fen types occur mostly at higher altitudes (Fig. 18c). At some mid-altitude sites, especially in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, fen vegetation contains a mixture

"Tech:
Work continues on fixing the graphical bug associated with our 3D camo and it has turned out to be more troublesome than originally thought. While the programmers were tinkering around with the shaders in search of a fix, we were able to have an additional channel added to the shader used for most of the loot items which will allow us to procedurally change the color of objects via config. The designers will evaluate how and when to implement such a feature but I am hopeful it will lead to a lot more color customization options on a lot more items than we currently allow. We also got support for a colorize in the grass shader so that we can vary the color of patches of grass in a large field, adding some visual flare to the environment.

Yes, if you are an outdoorsman like myself you see a lot of different types of terrain, I think there should be not only different types, but different sizes and thicknesses too.
