With the overlay active, every tree and plant you place picks up autumn colors. You can use that to frame your builds in a warm fall setting.
Planning the landscape
1. Plant trees on purpose. Group several trees around your build rather than spacing them evenly. Clusters read as a forest and create big patches of red, orange and yellow.
2. Mix tree types. Birch and oak side by side give variety in trunk color and leaf shades.
3. Leave open grass. The overlay recolors grass too, so a clear lawn or meadow in front of your build becomes a warm-toned foreground.
4. Add water. A small stream or a lake next to a large build makes the autumn trees stand out against the water's surface.
Adding detail
- Gardens: Fill beds with flowers and other plants. Because plants are recolored, a garden blends naturally into the autumn palette.
- Paths: Mossy stone steps or cobble paths through the trees give a worn, seasonal feel.
- Centerpieces: A stone fountain surrounded by trees makes a strong focal point in a courtyard.
- Grand builds: Large buildings or palaces with big glass windows let you look out over the colorful canopy from inside.
Checking your work
Walk around the build at different times of day and from a distance. If one side looks bare, plant another cluster of trees or extend the garden. Your main texture pack still controls how your building blocks look, so the overlay only adds the seasonal color around them.
