    Title: Seems like clipping path for POT grass remover needs tweaking
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? No
    Details: The clipping path doesn't honor the shape boundary. Perhaps it's geometry related to the grass itself if it happens to bleed inside/outside, but that's going to be a challenge for POT owners if so. I can't put another one next to this one, so I'm still left with grass. I put another small one down adjacent to the first (see 3rd picture) and grass still grew inside them.
    Steps to Reproduce: Place a few next to each other with swamp grass.

    You can actually put multiple removers on top of each other, touching, overlapping, etc. So, you should be able to remove the grass you want. There is limited resolution in the terrain detail map, so there isn't a way to get the removal to line up exactly with the transparent boxes.

    Maybe so, but you can see from those pictures that the grass is growing inside the remover, not next to it.

    Yeah, I know. We can't make it remove things exactly due to detail map resolution. You would need to place another remover that overlaps this one to remove this piece of grass, or use a bigger one, move it over, etc.

    We could increase the threshold at which we remove grass, but then you will just get the opposite problem of removing grass outside of the volume (which can already happen to an extent, but it would be an even bigger area outside.)
