Hey Everyone,

after my longer break i want to pick up again this project! together with HErston and greenspools my plan is to give the South Coast of the Stormands more love again. Dear mods pls tell me if i still can go for the project and if the plan is still that i do them one by one (i agree with that).
I remember i should start with horpe.

Hey Jeff! Nice to see you picking this up, it surely is more digestible than the behemoth that is Harvest Hall. I think I would like to see you revisiting the tests for Horpe, mainly due to the many new blocks and subsequently the new ways of building that are at our hands now. A lot of those blocks are, I'm sure, very useful for this region and style, even for terra (new terrainsets yay!). Don't feel rushed to pump out a result, take your time and warm up to the many many many (many) new additions.​

Hey Everyone,

The Last days i am working on the Area of South Cape Wrath in the Stormlands. Rn i have a Application for Horpe. My suggestion would be to start with a redo of Gower Instad of Horpe.
WHY:
The problem with Horpe is that horpe is in the area South of Stonehelm by Aino. Stonehelm is in a early stage. The Eastern part of Stonehelm is not start yet and will not start any soon. To give Stonehelm time and maybe give us some time for some new blocks for this area i would start with Gower instad. Gower is next to Greenstone what is alrdy done. Is also in Cape wrath so its also Broas Plains.
If i start with Horpe i would be done with it before The Mountains of East Stonehelm are. This means we are limited in our creativity since The Stonehelm Mountains HAVE to fit Horpe Area.
So I ask gain to Start with Gower or at least Herston.

Some more rationale to support working on Gower before Horpe:

-Having some new stone blocks that line up more closely with the new terrainsets. We've got to work out former eastern islands in Jungle biome, stormlands alt, dark red mountains, pink granite, grey sandstone etc.
-Gower is flatter terrain and mostly involves removing the old forest, without worrying so much about gradient masks and other tools that are invaluable for hills and mountains
-The Greenstone style easily morphs into South Cape style Jeff has been testing for, with a change in the materials of course.
-Gower has approximately the same amount of structures as Horpe so its not like its changing a larger area of the map into sand/placeholder terrain than working on Horpe.
