Moved ground insects out of the tall grass

Open shoreline and slopes give Aurelie more visible insects to find around the lake.

I moved ground insect placement toward open shoreline and slopes where tall grass cannot hide every bug. The world now places 24 ground insects alongside eight bark insects.

The species include ladybugs, beetles, ants and grasshoppers, with their own movement and reactions. This makes the small food sources around the lake easier to discover.

“Food should be something you can spot while exploring.”

The footage follows a grasshopper on open ground beside the tall grass. Aurelie targets it, walks over and eats it; the insect disappears and her hunger meter gains a little food.
