Foliage RGB Colors FS25
2024-12-08T16:28:21Z
FS25 Giants Editor v10.0.3 terrain foliage RGB colors on mapUS source files template. Tutorials HOWTO paint cultivator_density.png and fruit_density.png images in GIMP can be found from GIMP paint cultivator_density, cultivator_density and roads painting in GIMP and fruit_density painting in GIMP pages.
What I did was took mapUS 2km terrain, erased everything and set heightmap elevation to 100m flat. Then took a 2500 meter square brush, selected foliage editing mode, chose foliage (window) -> foliage (section) -> foliage layer -> meadow and layer state -> greenSmall, then clicked once at 0,0 coordinates painting the whole 2km terrain as greenSmall foliage. Saved GE mapUS.i3d project and exited.
GRLEConverter converted densityMap_fruits.gdm to PNG, opened it up in GIMP, used color picker to click anywhere in the image, then opened "change foreground color" dialog and saw that this color is RGB 67,0,0 value.
Below is all the foliage that matters, some not so regularly used crops are not listed, same as the new peas and rice whatever things. Many of the crops I did had "Small" and "Small2" type growth stage names, RGB values were different for these but the 3d model/plane texture was identical, so I didn't bother listing other than greenMiddle, harvestReady, dead and harvested, as these are the ones that could be used the most, if you must use other colors then you can find them yourself, would be nice if you shared them in PMC Tactical Forum if you do the research.
densityMap_fruits
This is called fruit_density.gdm in FS19, never forget where you're coming from.

This is called cultivator_density.gdm in FS19, old school elite.

densityMap_groundFoliage
This densityMap_groundFoliage.gdm file is brand new FS25 stuff, never used before in farmsim game series. Giants separated the big bush objects from the small grass, flower and shrubbery type foliage. Makes sense, but they should have done this already back in FS19.

Its kind of nice that Giants Engine v10 now separates large bushes into their own groundFoliage image, looks like you can now paint small bushes, flowers and shrubbery separately so you should have small stuff in the ground level and then these larger bushes 3D model alike type things on the higher up, difficult to explain. But to me this feels like slight progress, I like it. Guess Giants can do at least something right in 2024
