Custom Biomes

[Vampiro]

I noticed we get some great biomes again. Im especially very surprised (in a positive way!) we can add many more ground textures then we had in Planet Coaster 1.

However I also noticed that the available textures in each biome also suit the biome. So the Desert-ish biome features lot's of desert-ish ground textures.
In my park I love to have a bit of everything, snow rides in a snow area, a wildwest section with desert texture, etc etc.

For this reason I would love to see a custom biome or at least be able to create a custom palette of ground textures.

I wish there was a biome creator, where we could even choose what background we wanted or have a completely flat park like RCT3 and create something like a beach park with ocean at one end going off into infinity. And a slightly larger park size for parks that are more spread out.

I would like control over the world lighting not just the standard day to night cycle but also control color, hue and specular world lighting. So we could make maps on different planets or create a whole map under water or create a whole map in a cave under ground. Plus If we wanted too we could make the whole map pitch black or blindingly bright.

Next, we need a way to manipulate the world border with our own themes. I think the game could do this automatically just by being able to detect a few basic things. Like 1 rock, ground texture, and tree we can recolor would do the trick. Those things would be the things we selected in a world border editor menu.

Next, we need some more advanced world editing tools. Like stencils, for example a Mesa or Butte, Slope, Peak, Plateau, stairs, ramps and Realistic Cliff Sides.
Currently cliffs in all of the frontier games are WAY to Smooth. We need a better way to add noise. So we don't have to spam the maps with rocks to create the same effect that the terrain editor should be able to accomplish. That jagged sharp volcano look or deathly sharp cliff sides. It might even help if we could use a modified path editor tool to help cut and fill terrain.

I also wouldn't mind having a few cute stencils as well like raised stars, paw prints, flowers, crop circles. LOL
Being able to change the terrain editor from a circle to a box or other shape to edit with would be nice.

Oh yeah this whole system where the biome dictates the available ground textures needs to go.
