## 🎯 CRITICAL NOTES
|
||||
|
||||
### **This reference will be used for:**
|
||||
- ALL 20 biomes (terrain base)
|
||||
- ALL crops (growth pattern template)
|
||||
- ALL seasonal variations (color reference)
|
||||
- ALL terrain tiles (style guide)
|
||||
|
||||
### **Every vegetation asset MUST:**
|
||||
1. Check this master reference FIRST
|
||||
2. Match seasonal colors exactly
|
||||
3. Match growth stage size/detail
|
||||
4. Match smooth line quality
|
||||
5. Use exact hex codes provided
|
||||
|
||||
### **This is THE definitive seasonal & growth reference.**
|
||||
- No guessing seasonal colors
|
||||
- No inventing growth stages
|
||||
- No style deviations
|
||||
- Everything checks against this master
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**STATUS:** Specification complete, awaiting image creation
|
||||
**PRIORITY:** CRITICAL - needed before generating any more vegetation/terrain
|
||||
**FILE:** `/references/BIOME_CROP_MASTER.jpg` (to be generated)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**Once this master reference exists, ALL future biome/crop generation becomes:**
|
||||
1. Open master reference
|
||||
2. Find relevant season + stage
|
||||
3. Copy exact colors/style
|
||||
4. Generate matching asset
|
||||
5. Verify against master
|
||||
|
||||
**No more inconsistency. One source of truth.** 🎯
