Current Version 1.20
Updated to run with latest client version (9th June 2021)
Description
Originally I just wanted to rescale the grass and trees, because I think they are scaled up too much, more fitting the proportions for FPS and taking away from the feeling of piloting a Mech.
Finding lots of unused assets, I ended up reworking all the Biomes which include vegetation.
Why are there only spruces anyway?
While I was working on the assets, I decided to modify LODs and viewing distance as well.
Expect a moderate/big FPS impact! I will keep working on improvements, though.
If needed, you can reduce the density and viewing distance by lowering the foliage and view distance options in your graphics setting.
Feel free to leave a comment.
Don't forget to give all the other awesome mods a try.
Make sure you use the latest version.
Note
Pre 1.20 Screenshots are taken with Navid's rescale mod enabled, piloting an Annihilator.
v1.20
Finally an updated and running version. Since I had to redo what felt like 200% of the original mod, I made some changes on the way.
Some tree destructions are not fitting yet, will be fixed.
Features
