I like that you presented all detail items that you were going to use. Nice guide but the outcome looks pretty unwalkable ;O

Its like you implented every tree and bushes and things in same thing. Keep to svamp plants. normal trees and bushes never fits in svamp..

The normal trees and bushes don't fit in svamp areas. and ofc not the jungle tree and plants. -.-

Way to many kinds of bushes/trees and it's also to much borders - Way to messy imo.

imo it looks good this way. otherwise it looks rl bored.

Someone got a little angry and went berserk with the borders, trees and bushes.

Press O and see which square meters are walkable, that would be very interesting.

It's good and will help some people, but you exaggerated with tufts

I tried to do this Tutorial! Its about building a nice swamp, with RAW! but Illusion doesnt explain all the borders etc.

It was very hard for me to finish this little advantage:

can u give me advices, to make it better?

 

[Leftwing]

It's too close together, causing it to not turn out right ingame. Spread out the swamps and dirt a little more, leave some grass patches clear for a player to walk through, Ill update this post with an example.

Edit 1: Here is what I am starting with:

Edit 2: Here it is with borders finished:

Edit 3: Everything I'm using/have used:
