JVH Platform Plants

JVH Platform Plants is a saddle-platforms targeted version of the basic JVH landscaping items. These have foliage interaction materials disabled so there's no odd animation or shuddering when placed on saddle platforms and rafts on the PC version. If you aren't planning on placing plants on rafts or saddles, then you'll likely prefer the OG JVH Landscaping Mod.

NOTE: This mod may be unnecessary shortly, as the planter pod that SE has also turns off interactivity when populated with foliage. This means the live game now has baked shaders included with that feature off. If I can make use of that material in JVH Landscaping, I'll add that code back to the mod there and discontinue Platform Plants.

Current version: 0.5

This mod provides an engram to learn a new bench that can create the plant structures. The plants have interactivity disabled when on saddle platforms, but will have normal interactivity when placed anywhere else. Disabling the interactive foliage requires baking new materials, which is why the mod is 500mb and then some with just in-game actors. If you don't care about foliage interaction, it can be completely disabled in the Ark settings menu on the client-side and this mod isn't really necessary. If you'd like more pieces for platforms but are cool with globally disabling foliage interaction, the JVH Landscaping Mod may be a better choice.

This mod has had some brief testing, but there are likely bugs and some misses, please comment with anything you find, thanks!
