Weeds growing up thru ballast on HSC Main Line

Might point out that if you are doing route building, you should have procedural flora 'ON.' Otherwise, you will not see exactly the problem that you pointed out at the beginning of this thread.

The way to get rid of the weeds, etc., pushing up through the track is to paint the track area with a 'non-procedural' or 'non-flora' ground texture.

I use procedural flora all over the place on my route, but along the track, I have to use a 'bare grass' or some other such non-flora texture.

If I leave procedural fauna on before I lay track, and paint the non-procedural flora on after track laying, I still get a few weeds here and there, but it is cut down substantially.

It may be better to start with a non-procedural flora base, then paint procedural flora "top coat" where you want it, as opposed to the other way-round. What you think?

Yeah, I used the San Bernadino to Barstow route as my routetemplate, so the ground everywhere was already painted with a non-flora texture. Worked well.
