The Grass ....

Realistic growing animated grass with 3 stages healthy, dry and dead.

Also customizable,

To use your own particles, mod the particle script "//TXG Water(modifyable)" and then rename it to "TXG Water" without the quotes and reset the TXG Grass script. Make sure "TXG Water" is set to Running.

You may replace textures inside with your own provided they are named the same. See (image in nc) and remember, animation works left to right so you want your grass blades upright in most cases.

Set your grow rate, steps, water amount all from the mower and update (you'll see in the mower menu)

Gas Mower and EV Mower driving.

Sit - it starts automatic. WASD or Arrow keys, are your control keys, pg up pg dn are your "gears" set speed will be displayed in local chat. Yes you can gear down to a -reverse gear and hold forward to go backwards, OR you can hit S or down arrow to stop, and then again to back up.

All mowers have working headlights except the push mowers. EV mowers have battery status indicators if hovertext is not wanted to be seen it can be disabled.

EV Mower charging.

Mount your plug in charger low on a wall. Drive or walk your mower up to it. Click plug in charger, then pull up your EV menu on mower and select "charge" - you should see it begin to charge in the hovertext. You do not have to stay on the mower once charging has started but you to have to be on the mower to bring up the EV menu.

Your EV mower has a display on the fender that shows Kwh Remaining, miles remaining, and percent of battery remaining.

Basic stuff.

Do not link grass to anything, not the ground or the house or each other. It will not cut properly.
You may use the provided underlying textured mesh inside the grass box to achieve a more fuller look. I recommend stretching it as far as you need to, but do not stretch textures. As always, entirely up to you.
Basic "what to click and where" is shown in local chat when you sit on or stand on your mower.
All Menu operations have clear descriptions in the menu text as far as what they do.
Menus cannot be pulled up without sitting. You may 'loan' your mower out and the borrower can only cut and water, all other operations and changes are not allowed by the mowing system. Only you the owner can set your grass grow rate and stages.

Baggers.

If your mower is equipped with a bagger, you may click it to use or not use it. Please do this AFTER the Mower (cutting operation) is ON. This will trigger the grass to blow outside the mower vs "into" the bagger. Grass will only blow out, if you are on or were just on cuttable grass. To go back to using the bagger toggle the Mower (cutting operation) off and back on and click the bagger area again and it should re-appear.

Watering.

Watering happens when you have Water ON in your Mower menu and you drive through the grass. See note inside grass about customizing grass and water. You may water without cutting, just as you may cut without watering, its all dependent on how you have it set in your Mower menu. We will also be offering watering cans, and watering hoses in the near future.

Mowers range from 61 KB of script use to 169 KB of script use depending on model.
Grass as purchased with optional particle script removed uses 23 KB.

Grass is 1LI at 1.5 meters tall at purchased size.

Both features combined make this the most efficient lawn system anywhere.

Grass 1 LI per 3.8 meters sq - 23 kb script use 0.0000 ms script time.

Pushmower 13 LI - 80 Kb script use 0.0083 ms script time.
