cactus and palm trees for sand tiles

[Gaffer 250]

An occasional cactus would add some interest to otherwise boring desert.   The cactus could have a kill zone like the oak and willow trees so that they do not crowd one another.   They should spawn only on (and planting should be restricted to) sand tiles not near water.   Sand tiles near water (and only near water) would be a good place to find palm trees.

could make sand a bit more interesting, cactus spawns sand tiles like trees spawn grass tiles maybe? pals a source of wood in sand regions too?

Cactus's similar to thorns too? Walk over their tiles, get a scratch or two? Impaled with a few spines?

Throw in some tumbleweed type decorations like rocks on grass/dirt tiles, too. Ahh, the desert would look awesome. n.n

+1, never thought of the killzone idea to keep them from being forested!

Yes please.

 

Someone mentioned moss as well.  Would like to use moss in on-deed landscaping.

Particularly prickly pear, so we can harvest the fruit for healing covers and/or food.
