Please fix: Jumping, elephant grass, drinn grass

[Britches]

Since @shirandhak mentioned it in the escape bug thread (Yes, animals escaping is still a major issue), I wanted to bring up these issues too:

• Felines jumping over 5m fences and counting everything rock related as "jumpable" area really needs to be fixed. The rockwork can be 10m high, lynxes can jump on it! Nothing realistic about that and bugs as hell.
• Drinn grass is now counted in the biome and plant tab. I think, I speak for many players that it was just nice to have plants that don't count and could be used everywhere without affecting the animal's welfare or plant/biome needs. It made a habitat much more realistic. Please bring this back!
• Elephant grass working as a natural barrier was just the perfect "cheat". It made so many habitats possible that wouldn't work with barriers. Please bring this back too!

All these issues are restricting creativity building habitats and decrease building freedom we had before.
Thank you for having this thread noticed.

Well, the drinn grass not being counted as coverage and the elephant grass blocking animals even when sunken to the ground were bugs, cleverly used by the community to our advantage yes, but still bugs. And as much as I liked them, I really doubt Frontier would introduce those bugs back.

I agree, if it wasn't intended to be there I don't believe they'd bring back past bugs

This could've been really useful in some Enclosures

This ones pretty good though because I didn't enjoy seeing Animals standing on Top of it. I wonder if Animals can walk through it now. Might be pretty cool for creating a more natural Environment for Elephants

I’d definitely prefer for grasses and other groundcover to count less toward animals’ plant cover tolerance, across the board. Especially with the caracal just being added, it feels really unnatural to me that so many cats “prefer” habitat with virtually no groundcover. I feel like the game as a whole could benefit from 100% of plants having their contributions to plant cover being lowered.

I didn't like the way some ungulates got stuck on top of the elephant grass either, and I'd get a welfare notification when they got hungry/thirsty/stressed. I think it's probably better they fixed the bug, even though it was useful at times.
