Mixing locales

The weird thing is that all the props for the desert ARE available as it seems, so why not the texture?

Hopefully a Dev can do some explaining here [bored]
 
I am sure they give us the option to mix and match this in the future. I actually think they said this somewhere, but i can't find it in the Q&A's. Maybe it was during one of the live streams from alpha 1 or 2. There was also a concept screenshot which was showing a lot of different biomes with their matching tree's and shrubbery.

#edit.. I was referring to these concepts:

Here's a nice blurry crop of the texture menu from the live-stream with Silvarret today. It has 4 new textures (I'm pretty sure the 1st and 3rd are not the same as current grass/sand) with the position of the vertical scroll bar it's implying that there's more above them. Whether it's just the original 4 we've had since Alpha 1 hidden above or more then those is unknown. But it does imply, but not confirm, the game is not limited to 4 textures to a locale like a certain other game that shall go unnamed here. This says to me that if the western textures are not available then it's likely a lack of being tagged for use in all locals rather then a technical limitation.

I hope you and Janitor are right :)

And every voice of reason tells me it will be alright. I just hope this gets confirmed soon.
I would really like to have multiple "styles" in my park. Like a dessert area, a northpole area, etc etc...
 
I'm pretty sure Ive seen and used this type environment editor before because it looks and acts very familiar to me, and if that is the case, you will be able to easily mix environments both painting of the environment and flora/plants etc. So you'll be able to have say a desert type mountain rising out of a plush jungle etc..

I hear you, I've got plans and locations set aside for certain things in my big project park already. So far the lack of info on textures is the only thing that's been a big disappointment. Well maybe no woodies in alpha 3 being confirmed makes the list, but I was not expecting them to make it in to be honest.
 
my biggest concern is the park size? Perhaps I missed it but have they said if and by how much they are increasing the available park size.

( Yes I was one of those burned by Simcity not too long ago)

No, there wasn't a clear answer on this last time.

All they said was that "it won't dissapoint"

I hope the system well be something like Cities Skylines, where i can buy new land almost without limits.
Only limit should be if my computer start lagging, then i know my park is full [tongue] (Or it's time to buy a new system and i can go on expanding) [big grin]
