# Ground and slope

What the brush plants on, how steep a spot may be, and how trees meet the terrain.

## Plant on

* **natural ground default default:** Grass, dirt, sand, snow, mud, moss and terracotta. Never stone, planks or a roof. Blocks from mods count when their mod tagged them as dirt or sand.
* **what the stroke starts on:** The block you start a stroke on is the ground for that stroke. Start on a terracotta floor and only the terracotta gets trees.
* **blocks you picked:** Only the blocks in the list. Add them with **Add pointed at** or **Add in hand**, or with G in paint mode. Any block, modded ones too.
* **anything solid:** Any solid block, roofs and floors included.

## Slope and the foot of the trunk

* **Slope limit default 3:** How many blocks the ground may rise or fall under one trunk. Steps of one block are followed by the roots. Steeper than this and the spot is skipped.
* **Replaces default air, plants:** Air and plants: the tree grows around anything solid in its way. Everything: it overwrites it.

A tree stands at the most common ground height under its trunk. The foot of the trunk follows one-block steps: it reaches down into a dip and drops what would be buried. Roots dig through soil and stone, and through the ground you picked.

## Spots that are left alone

Water, spots under the crown of a tree that was already there, and spots steeper than the slope limit. The HUD counts them; see [Troubleshooting](https://voxelsprout.com/wildform/wiki/troubleshooting).
