Right-click on your project and look for Data Asset
On the creation you will have a list of data assets to create, the most important one is PDA_Vegetation. This data asset will contains all the meshes and settings of your vegetation
PDA_Vegetation: Used to contain all the data for the lands (main biome) and the mountains.
The content of the Data Assets looks like this
You can add as many meshes as you want and individual settings for each meshes. The names are pretty much self-explanatory but here are a few more details.
Place of Interest: It is a new feature from 5.5 that allows you to create level assembly and spawn them with Massive World, more on that later.
Weight: Determine the chance of being selected according to the whole list; a higher number means a greater chance of being selected compared to the others.
Object Uniform Scale: This will force the mesh to always be uniform, only the X will be used and applied to Y and Z.
Once the data is filled you will be able to add it to your biome inside Vegetation Land or Ocean.
Just below the "Vegetation Land" there is a Vegetation Setting. Those settings are global to all the vegetation.
Density: Determine the density of the vegetation/rock from 0 to 1
Max Slope: determine the maximum slope of the vegetation/rock. From 0 to 90. For example, if the slope is set to 30, that means the vegetation will not spawn if it is 31 degrees or more.
Noise Resolution allows you to remove the vegetation/rock in a certain pattern. Higher resolution will give smaller patterns. Here is an example to show you the result where the dark part is the part removed from the vegetation
Resolution = 2
Resolution = 6
Noise Strength: The amount of impact the noise will have to remove the vegetation. Higher strength will remove more points towards the white.
0 = black and 1 = white
Flower Cluster Density: This setting is specific to the flowers allowing them to spawn in groups instead of randomly, this setting will remove some cluster groups completely. From 0 to 1.
