Suggestions for Ivy
Hello developers
This time, I'd like to make a suggestion about Ivy.

[1]Doesn't need cultivated soil
Unlike Ashvine, Ivy does not bear fruit, so it is appropriate to plant it anywhere without cultivating soil, just like non-fruitful trees. If it need cultivated soil, Ivy would be better off producing harvestable fruit or flowers.

[2]Cover not only walls but also roofs
The first place to entwine is the walls. If the ivy grows from there and covers the roof, it will be wonderful to green the entire building. It need to create graphics of ivy with about four different angles.

[3]High density version
The current Ivy has a lot of gaps. I think this low density ivy is nice for indoor use.But in the case of exterior walls, there are many gaps and it looks very lonely.I think high density ivy will look better on the exterior walls.There aren't many items to decorate the exterior of buildings, so I think it would be nice to have two types of Ivy.

I would appreciate your consideration.

I would also suggest to remove the "open sky" condition for the ivy to grow.
So we can plant it to a wall with a roof overhang on top.

And maybe a tool for just cutting ivy and ashvines without damaging the building pieces, so we can remove the plants from our windows and doors from time to time.

Thanks for the additional suggestion.

Yes, I think "open sky" conditions are not necessary as long as the ivy gets some sunlight per 24 hour period at least .
