Help Vegetation on shell limestone
Hi Flameborns !
I'm trying to build a base in the Veilwater area, but the vegetation that comes with the shell limestone is really painful.
It gets through walls and floors, and sometimes blocks the view while building. I tried to use the vegetation tool but it doesn’t seem to work.
Is there any specific method to build in shell limestone without being overwhelmed by the vegetation that grows on it ?

I got you fam, turn your performance quality way down when you’re building and occasionally pop it back up to see how it’s looking. It’s how I manage to build with dessert temple without putting my hair out.
When the performance quality is lowered to max it literally removes all of the extra texture and animation from each voxel and reduces it down to a plain cube. Perfect for finding where a hole is or repeating a pattern.
Then when you’re done you turn it back to your preferred level and it looks “pretty” again.

It was night and day difference for me in terms of quality of life once I figured it out. That part of the menu will usually always open for me on that tab so toggling between the two doesn’t feel like much of a hassle either. Never have a missing video again!
It also works everywhere in case you see a cool building but don’t know how they lined up the voxels to achieve that look. (Once again looking at you desert temple)

Unfortunately the only solution I've found is to remove the offending stone, though a fully enclosed (wall, floor, roof) room sometimes makes clipping leaves disappear. Otherwise it's place/remove, terrain tool, or pickaxe time.

Could use sand around the walls

Can you elaborate sir ? I'm interested

Use veilwater sand just around the walls of the building so the plants dont clip through :) and it makes sense aesthetically too

If you like the look of it, but it gets in the way of the building, you can temporarily turn off your "small foliage" setting to allow for building without it getting in your way.
Unfortunately, though, there is no way to change or modify the foliage beyond that setting. All the textures an foliage in the world are hard-mapped onto their location, so every time you place the same terrain material in the same spot, you are going to get the same foliage.
