as far as plants are concerned, what we really need is a programmable plant creator... What this means is, don't have more trees that are oaks, or ginko or whatever, but have a plant generator with parameters that one can input... It is easier to provide parameters for different plants than have the plants themselves... That way it's easy to get a wide variety of plants and change the existing plants so one can get more variety... The plant creator would have to be divided, one part for trees, the other for bushes and non-flowering plants.. I think it's too ambitious to have it generate flowers.. Flowers would be hard.. But trees and bushes are not as hard... Since this very likely is not going to happen, I would think that for Vue 5, Eon should include whatever plants it's trying to sell individually... I mean, that approach worked fine for earlier versions of Vue (2 & 3) but at this stage of the game the "extra plants" are a little too expensive to buy individually or as a group... Also, add some birch trees, some oak and elm trees... Different kinds of pines... Gnarly trees without leaves... anyway, that's my 2 cents... :)
