Just a few days ago I posted a command to remove decoratives from concrete in already existing worlds.

But this won't ever be a vanilla "setting". Each tile type has a seperate deco-removal probability. And vanilla doesn't even have "Startup" type settings like mods do. It's also not good game-play to just make it a setting. Imho if it ever happens it will be a capsule or robot based solution, or a permanent change.

The original post made me think that it would be a setting that adjusts the percentage of decoratives removed. It couldn’t be a setting like the other settings because it would have to be the same for all other players on a server (making it good as a mod.)

How about just changing it to a straight solid, 100%. Realistically, when pouring concrete you cover everything. It doesn't make sense for there to be anything left. Yeah, life can grow after, but again, it's just annoying and ruins aesthetics.

Mods disable achievements, which is my main complaint.

Won't this disable achievements?

Commands completely disable achievements.

Mods don’t disable achievements, but they switch to a separate modded achievement list and prevent steam from saving them.

Literally disabling achievements for steam users.

You still get the achievement in the game, steam just won’t display that you did.

Vegetation on a concrete floor looks terrible.

A "workaround" for this is repeatedly placing and removing the floor tiles. Each time you place floor (or buildings) there's a small chance to remove the plant so eventually you will clear the area.

IMO this mod should just be standard.

I know about this mod, but having such a flaw in the game is terrible.

Want to throw my support behind this one. It really visually looks quite terrrible, especially on Gleba.

Moving to won’t implement because it was specifically set that way by the graphics department.
