I love shale for rivers and streams in my exhibits so can frontier just do what they did with sand and add it to sandbox??????
Shale

You know, I believe they probably can if they do decide to go for it. If so, it’s going to take time to get pass certain technical restrictions, kinda like what they had to go through to add sand to the main game Nublar map.
Yha. U know I just realized something...... we need pine trees in the game..
Well, I did make an idea thread for other trees inspired from the Lost World movie besides the redwood trees, and it included the idea of having pine trees among three other possible options. But whether any of those can be landscape nature brushes or scenery objects is another argument.Yha. U know I just realized something...... we need pine trees in the game..
General Gameplay - Scenery/Brush Trees from the Lost World movie.
There aren't just redwoods from The Lost World: Jurassic Park, there were deciduous and other conifer tress in the movie as well. The redwoods were added to the game through Update 1.12, and those were scenery trees. The filming location, Patrick's Point State Park, is home to many other tree...

Why limit it? It makes no sense. Importing sand and rocks onto islands certainly falls within the "spare no expense" attitude of the JP JW franchise.
I am optimistic to see shale be given the sand treatment to sandbox mode. I recall sand was later added as each map had a technical cap of 4 textures to work with, hopefully they could bump this up to 5.
Also, I do wish this was also extended to challenge mode as well. I love the added textures in sandbox, but I would love constructing the same exhibits in my favorite maps in challenge mode.

IIRC, right now its a limitation of how they coded the terrain texture brushes. They were able to get sand to work, so it's not impossible, it's probably just not a priority. Sand wasn't that huge of a priority until people started complaining about it.
Hey there. There are some technical challenges when it comes to the terrain options for islands which is why not all of them are available on every map. Our developers are aware that our community would like to have access to more on sandbox but we have nothing to announce on new additions currently.
Thanks for the response. It's nice to hear from Frontier that they are reading these threads. I am curious though, are you aware that some of us want more Challenge Mode Options?
There could be a new terrain type that has sand and shale coded separately. The sandbox maps would then use that terrain type instead of the Muerta/Pena one.
