I'll try that.

EDIT: Tried it with my custom race and I can bring the plants. SO they are being generated. Maybe they're just really rare?

Hey, this is probably a stupid question, buuuut...

Is it possible to have plants and trees grow naturally in tundra biomes? I'm trying to mod in some plants and they don't spawn in worldgen. It doesn't produce an errorlog or anything. I'm kinda new to modding and I this is my first try at adding non-creature related things. Any answer would be nice; I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now and can't find any answers.

^code for the plant, all of the defined materials exist in other raws, and they're basically copy-pastes of regular plant material so they should work. Of course, if it's not possible to put plants in tundra biomes then none of this matters.

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forums. This is a funny thread so I thought I'd contribute some of the funnier parts of mine.
