Subject: Flower spread ABM: Optimise
X-Git-Tag: 0.4.17.1~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6d850f23a52923d961200c4b7a031361efaae9dc;p=oweals%2Fminetest_game.git

Flower spread ABM: Optimise

Match maximum spread density to maximum mapgen density for flowers.
Place 3 flora nodes at once instead of 1.
Change ABM chance value to 300 to match previous spread rate.
ABM becomes 3 times less intensive.
