FS25 Forester V1.0.0.2

Forester for FS25
This mod is a tool that replaces or removes trees within a configurable radius.
It allows targeting specific tree types or modifying all trees in an area without manual replanting.
Please save your game before using this tool!

Usage
Press Ctrl + T to open the menu.

Features
– Select a specific source tree type (or Any).
– Select a target tree type, or choose Random, Random (Weighted), or Delete.
– Configurable Random (Weighted) option for custom replacement probabilities.

Options
– Set tree growth stage.
– Randomize growth stages.
– Keep the current growth stage.
– Undo feature that reverts trees to their previous state.

Limitations
– Undo only reverts the most recent action and may not restore the correct growth stage.
– Trees very close to objects are ignored.
– Trees on rocks, cliffs, or decorative objects are ignored.
– Randomized growth stages are biased toward later growth stages.
– Game must be restarted to reset tree LOD.

V1.0.0.2
– Menu remembers settings in the current session.
– Tree Replacer rejects trees with only a single growth stage (prevents transport logs and most modded transport logs; unfortunately most modded trees will also be rejected).
– Mod rebuilds/remaps weights so they survive map/mod changes (where indices often shift).
– Added override setting for Tree Replacer when the targeted tree is near or inside an object.

Thank you for sharing detailed information about the Forester mod for FS25. This tool seems to offer a lot of flexibility and control over managing trees in the game world. Here are some comments on the features and limitations listed:

Features:
1. The ability to specify source and target tree types or choose random options provides versatility when modifying the game environment.
2. Configurable Replacement Probabilities through Random (Weighted) option adds an element of customization.
3. Options like setting tree growth stage, randomizing growth stages, and an undo feature enhance the user experience.

Limitations:
1. The limitation of the Undo feature reverting only the most recent action and potentially not restoring the correct growth stage might inconvenience some players.
2. Ignoring trees close to objects, on rocks, cliffs, or decorative objects can limit the tool's effectiveness in certain scenarios.
3. The bias towards later growth stages with randomized growth stages might not always align with player preferences.
4. The need to restart the game to reset tree LOD may disrupt the gameplay flow for some users.

The updates in version 1.0.0.2 seem to address some key user needs and improve the overall experience with the mod. The feature where the menu remembers settings in the current session is a great usability enhancement. Rejecting trees with only a single growth stage and providing the option to override Tree Replacer when targeted trees are near or inside objects show a thoughtful approach to handling edge cases.

Overall, the Forester mod for FS25 appears to be a valuable tool for players looking to manage trees efficiently within the game. The detailed options and configurable settings provide a high level of control, while the recent updates indicate ongoing development to enhance user experience.
