Summary

0004242: Custom mountain plants only appear at biome edges

Description

With the new mountain grasses, I decided to test whether custom plants with the mountain biome work now. I've found that they exist, but only at the very edge of the mountain biome where it meets the surrounding biome, regardless of how far the grass stretches. In adventure mode, I found that the mountain plants I checked were one step away from the non-mountain biome.

A save is here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3984 [^] . The only mod is the addition of a random plant file created with an old version of Sphalerite's plant script. I've given the mountain shrubs the military dwarf tile to make them stand out better.

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

I haven't tested trees, but I suspect that they would function in the same way.

I'm uncertain whether the planned behavior is for mountain plants to exist or not, but either way, straddling the edge of the mountain biome doesn't seem to be the expected behavior.
