I can completely understand Aquatic being the best here from a worldwide perspective, but I have to give this one to Oceania simply because the set here finally lets me build the project I’ve wanted to start for years.
Sure, the rocks are nowhere near useful as the ones in Aquatic (the lava doesn’t do anything for me whatsoever), but the plants here skyrocket it to first for me. They’re beyond useful for overseas projects thanks to the small fern pieces, the cabbage tree (which looks wonderful when sunken into the ground) and even the king fern, which despite its obnoxiously oversized hitbox makes for a great looking mulch/dirt piece when turned upside down and sunken.
The main selling point for me though is that Aotearoa finally gets a set of native plants. I cannot go back to building a park in NZ without these things, it’s damn near impossible. The cabbage trees and the silver ferns are probably my favorite plants in the entire game, and everything else is an utter joy to sprinkle in too.
Normally I like to look at these things from a worldwide perspective, but I just can’t overstate how game changing this set was for me. Totally understand that Aquatic will most likely win and for perfectly valid reasons tho lmao.
