Lovely Tool, but be prepared for Learning

But The Fun Starts When You Add Your Own Stuff

A Note For Silly People Who Give Thumbs Down Because They Bought A Rubbish Computer

To Wrap up

A relaxing, satisfying and fun creative tool

• Overall outstanding visuals: Your creations will look awesome unless you work hard to make them look bad :)
• A considerable number of assets included with several architectural styles and lots of random items. The assets included in the game will keep you busy for quite a while, and there are lots of things you can do to make your scenes look much different than scenes created by others, even if you're using many of the same assets.
• A huge number of options for foliage, flowers, trees, bushes, vines, ivy, grass and other flora. You can make jungles teeming with life or go the other extreme and create dusty desert biomes or frigid winter scenes.
• Full control over the sun and moon, ambient lighting, ground fog, ambient fog, bloom, aperture, field of view, focus, shadows, etc
• Import your own sky images
• Import your own 3D models, or models downloaded from other sites in obj format
• Options for oceans (including sliders for choppiness, waves, foam, etc), standing water, rivers and waterfalls
• All items, including assets, water, foliage and trees, can be resized and textures can be scaled up or down
• Fun painting effect allows you to drop things like stray rocks, branches and leaves into your scene
• Animals! Including elephants, rabbits, wolves, ungulates, fireflies, fish, and my personal favorite, kittehs!
• The developer listens to player feedback and is transparent about future updates

• No Workshop support yet: The dev says he's looking into it. That would be a game-changer. I decided to take the leap and buy the game despite the lack of current Workshop support, and it's well worth it, but the game would be so much better with true Workshop integration.
• A lot of reviews mention the awkward terrain sculpting controls. It's true, unfortunately. The dev is aware and hopefully this will be improved
• There are very limited options when it comes to specifically placing light sources. Instead of a color wheel, Flowscape offers only five colors, and they're all omni-directional. The game lacks directional lighting of the kind found in games like Planet Coaster. It could benefit hugely from that sort of thing, although there are creative ways to work around it.
• Importing is a crapshoot: The game supports 3D models in the obj format only, but not all obj files work. I've had the most success with raw-scan 3D images. Workshop integration would give us more options and alleviate the frustration of downloading large files only to find out the models don't import properly
• Currently the game uses a layer system to facilitate painting things like foliage and assets onto set layers, for example placing them on water instead of the ground. But the layer system is wonky, and if for example you want to paint ivy and vines sideways on a building's exterior, you've got to move those pieces by hand and place them there, which is time-consuming.
• The game needs a better method for copy+paste that preserves item size, position and relative position
• We could always use more assets
• The dev tries to herd people to Discord to get information about the game. I understand he's trying to grow the community, but forcing people onto Discord is not the way to do it. All relevant information should be available on the community discussion boards, guides, etc.
