Field of Grass by Erik Houdini erikhoudini.com Oh, field of grass, Ravaged by concrete catacombs, Smothered mass, asphalt cask. Unlike stories from ancient tomes— Here, not even birds roam. Oh, field of grass, Brown bristles swaying in the wind, Brash with lifelessness. Humanity's sin—plastic soaked ground within, Apathy, a collective unconsciousness, Oh, field of grass. Oh, field of nature's trespass— Bottles, bags, and needles amass. Parking lot dust, cars, and trucks, Human creatures now outlast— The beauty of nature's past, Faded like a photo in a worn clasp. Mowed down like machine gun fire, Heat of the concrete, nature's vampire. No room for play, not even an umpire. Shadeless trees—totems to Anubis, Once aureus, now—shadow of human hubris, Oh, field of grass. Oh, nature's land mass, Once prairie, pond, or forest, Now nary a songbird's chorus. Lady Justice, her figure malnourished, The natural balance, now— Brutalist flatlands, now squarrous. Oh, progress, oh humanity. Taming of the shrew, pollinators too, Polymer rebirth, that is our curse, for— What was reaped, never had a choice. What was taken, never had a voice, Oh, field of grass.

The Mojave is alive. What is Project Sassafras? A overhaul mod designed with the current state of modded New Vegas in mind. Fan favorite mods like MoreMojave, This is Freeside, Adobe Buildings and many more are being tested while this mod is in development, in order to deliver a modular lore friendly mod that compliments these mods. Changes are not being made to areas already affected by a wide variety of overhaul mods, ie Goodsprings. What's the Sassafras Project overhauling? -Sloan is now full fledged NCR settlement, a small populated hamlet reminiscent of towns like Riverwood in Skyrim. -NCRCF is now a full sized settlement, although it is still early in the development, the prison's natural defenses have made an excellent place to live for the Mojave's rejects, bandits and criminals. -Hand placed and designed houses, shacks and shops, with a focus on buildings enterable without a loading screen. -16 Adobe houses placed around the Mojave with a high level of detail for each, solely for world building. -Powder Gangers expansion retools the faction as a John Dillenger, 1930s Outlaw evil faction, ruthless and yet kinda, like Al Capone and his soup kitchens. -Focus on unmarked quests and environmental story telling -Lore friendly focus, while overhauling, care is taken to assure nothing would conflict with the lore.

I'd assume they'd go for functional yet beautiful. Lots of fruit producing cactuses, broc flowers, that sort of thing

This area would be a good spot to put a garden or similar green area that would make Freeside feel like less of a total dump. Is lore friendly because the mormon fort area is fairly safe and I could see them having a garden to boost morale of Freeside. It's a bit more of a solarpunk flare.

I second this.
