I've a new project to work on, nothing fancy, just something small that annoys me sometimes.
While making ponds to look natural, I like water reeds and algae for example, to be placed very close to the edge of a pond. In case of the water reeds, it's even better when they are slightly on the water surface and slightly on terrain.
Now when doing this without the moveobjects on cheat code, this won't work at all. With the cheat activated though, you will get what you see in the image above; floating plants and algae.
So my next project will be about fixing this for various water plant objects, so they will not hang mid-air but float on water surfaces, like they should in the first place.
Other Pond Object Fixes
There're also some objects which I would like to place into ponds, but for which that isn't possible. Think about the frog fountain and the whale fountain. As for the frog, I want it to be placed on the water surface. The whale will be placeable underneath the water surface.
Water emitters
Also, why are water emitters not placeable in ponds? I really like to have those kind of fountains in my pond! So, also needs to be fixed.
The other way around
Instead of making objects to be placed in ponds, I also like at least two pond objects, to be placeable in pools. It's about the Crocodile Spawner and the Bog Log (The one that spawns a turtle on it). The reason is that I still like to use pools to make swimmable natural ponds. And in a swimmable natural pond, also swim crocs and turtles. :)
All above object fixes won't be in one single mod pack, but spreaded in multiple packs, so you won't need to wait too long before the first batch is ready to be released.
