Bug description:
The vegetation polygon biome overrides for both Scrub and ScrubSmall are no longer selectable in the SU2 beta. If these poly types already exist in the scenery, you can copy the data from that polygon and paste it to a new one as a work-around.

Can confirm Scrub, ScrubSmall and Scrub_Instead_Of_Trees are missing from the Biome override.
When loaded via an pre SU2 Beta Scenery.xml the Polygon still loads and renders as expected, but the Biome override is not shown in the UI (shown as empty\default).
Also Scrub, ScrubSmall and Scrub_Instead_Of_Trees are missiing from the list of aviable Biome overrides.
I think Scrub_Instead_Of_Trees missing may be intentional as that (as far as I have seen) has always been missing in 2024. Looking at the XML in 2020, it’s the exact same thing as Scrub, so I assume it was just a duplicate. That or it is misconfigured in 2020. Visually the two types seem to be the same.
No Scrub_Instead_Of_Trees was for sure aviable in 2020 and 2024, it was just not easy to find in that unsortet list.
I jused it in 2020 and in 2024 with <=SU1.
Interesting. Did it have a visual difference between the two for you (in 2024)? My experience in 2020 was that it was the same. Obviously never tested that in 2024 as I thought it was removed. I know it wasn’t in the original release because it replaced everything using it with the default trees for the area and I had to do a XML work-around for it.
I’m not in the SU2 beta. But a question here is: does the fs-base-biomes now depend on the hard-drive-stored folder, or is it using the streamed fs-base-biomes. In SU1, it uses the hard-drive-stored.
I made the decision for Scrub_Instead_Of_Trees some monts ago, so i am not 100% sure, but i think there was not a big diffirence if any.
