🚀 USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

When generating ANY biome terrain:

  1. Open BIOME_CROP_MASTER.jpg
  2. Identify season (Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter)
  3. Extract EXACT grass/soil colors from reference
  4. Use exact hex codes in prompt
  5. Match smoothness/style to master reference

When generating ANY crop:

  1. Open BIOME_CROP_MASTER.jpg
  2. Identify growth stage (1-8)
  3. Identify season
  4. Find corresponding wheat sprite in grid
  5. Match size, color, style exactly
  6. Apply same logic to new crop (tomato, carrot, etc.)

Color Extraction:

  • Use eyedropper tool on reference
  • Copy exact hex codes
  • Include in generation prompt
  • NO guessing colors

  • Wheat stages 1-8, dead/dormant

Style:

  • NO pixelation anywhere
  • Smooth curves (vector-quality)
  • Consistent outline thickness (5px)
  • Vibrant colors (not muted)
  • Matches Ana reference quality

🎯 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. 🎯
