I've been working on this the land is raised and I've started work on the stronghold including rubble re-textures to make it look ruined.

good, we need strongholds.
by the way, since your claim is in the "emerald forest" (i think) can you try to make it look like an actual forest? I was very dissapointed when I went to some other claim that had part of it, only to find a generic look-alike of the ascadian isles. Maybe the sort of look in garinator's 6-14 would be good to emulate; a dense forest but using AI plants.

Good idea I could make it overgrowen as well.

I would say "be sure to use my flora pack", but it wont be back for at the very, very least 10 days (I need to get the meshes back and make a working download).

Forest will lead to lag, unless some new, good looking low-poly trees has been recently invented...

not an actual forest; what I suggested was to make it AI but twice the tree density. Just look at 6-14; it doesnt lag too badly, if at all; yet it is almost a forest; -plus when I tried making a forest from the highest poly trees that exist (MH) my average FPS was hardly lower than what i usually get (my average is 15; in that said arrangement I got 12).
In other words, please dont limit people's creativity with scares of low FPS. What really causes FPS problems are NPCs and scripts; and this is a wilderness claim so those arent going to be a problem.

In other words, keep it up with the large tree density. It really looks awesome and causes much less lag than one would think.

Say that to hermit, who is more then enough aware of the dangers of using too much flora in a claim

I've been far to busy with work these past few weeks. Hopefully I should have some spare time soon to get some work done here.
