The way it is currently implemented it is getting removed. I am not sure it can be done differently at the moment. Top Quote

It would be good to have either an extra layer for terrain embellishments, or a second immovable slot on each map field for these. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

This way it is no problem if they are removed. Does also work for bushes, but not for rocks Top Quote

A second variant would be nice to avoid repetition. For the "grass" ones I think I should remove the flowers. Currently the "grass" immovables have a sound called "frog1"; I am not quite sure what the intention behind this was; Was that meant to be more like reed? I would add them as simple immovable as they are implemented now and change them later if/when additional layers, etc. get available Is there currently any way to delay animations like "play animation, wait 2 seconds and repeat the process"?

Not at the moment - we'd need to add a "sleep" program for that, or add an additional parameter to animations. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote
