Drawing Boards: Advanced Topics
Work in Progress....
The fluff terrain uses shown here work starting with version 0.49.2 and with the Saxarba tileset. In older versions and other tilesets they will largely have no effect; boards using these fluff effects are therefore generally backwards compatible and usable on other tilesets.
The terrain type "Ground Fluff" contains the ground textures of grass, desert, mars and tropical themes with different levels of transparency as well as fully opaque. These can be used to create a soft transition between two types of theme. They can also be used to have the trees, roads or other theme-dependent terrains on a ground texture of another theme.
In the How-To image below, the upper half uses the desert theme. Therefore all woods appear as cacti. The transition is created by adding increasingly opaque ground fluff showing the tropical base texture from right to left.
The lower half uses the tropical theme; therefore all woods appear as tropical woods. Here, the transition is created by adding increasingly opaque ground fluff showing the desert base texture from right to left.
Ground Fluff:1:5 looks exactly like desert theme floor while Ground Fluff:3:5 looks exactly like tropical theme floor.
