Have the experiments been conducted? Can the map be overhauled? To fairer seeds? I think the wood placement is total BS.
Speaking of res:
These are three different things, if you couldn't tell at first glance. I think the rock doesn't look rocky enough, the metal not metally enough and the clutter too minerally.
Edit: Oh, and all the "eye candy" bushes can go. I don't like them anyway, why would they look like wood when they aren't; makes this confusing map even more confusing. Best replace them with actual bushes.
Edit2: some more BS
One of these logs is actual wood, the other "decoration".
