Steam: Wacky "rock quarry" landscape

[Jov 11]

As you can see here, there's a stone path leading through the stone "rock quarry" area. This is the first time I've seen stone-on-stone generated like this and I presume it's unintended. Additionally, as you can see there's also a couple trees here, one is naturally generated, the other planted. It seems inconsistent to me that trees can be planted/grown, while bushes and grass can not.

The path is the same one that runs through all the islands. But I agree that it looks a bit off on the stone ground. I would rather see a dirt trail rather than a stone path.

I kind of like that some items appear randomly in the "wrong" places. Like Toaster Fu's pond in the middle of a forest.

ive seen roads/paths through there before, maybe just rare for you? dunno, haha. but you can pick up foliage with the shovel and replant if you like...i assume you knew that though.

Yes, but you cannot replant saplings/bushes/grass in this biome - only trees. Just doesn't make sense to me that trees can, while the rest can't - not sure if that's a bug or a feature, however.

Trees are stonger, so they break through the stone when growing, or something

You are right, if you look at the screenshot you can clearly see that the trees grew on the cracks of the stone

Back on topic, I like how it is right now, and I don't see it as a bug. Most of the times, the first thing I explore are paths. If the path suddenly stopped when reaching the stone island I would be lost!
