Here is a list of all official names, if you want to change the map location biome for your animals, located in the

1. Location Folder (like ai file)
2. UI Folder (dds file).

1. In the Location Folder you find for example....... and can change it:
<ZTLocationEntry name="scrub_worldwide" (The Location Entry name is the same as the entry name in the entities/units/animals/ai file-Folder ).
you can also edit:
locid="worldlocation:asia" (When you put the mouse over it in the game, you will see this note).
and:
icon="ui/icon_maplocations/scrub_worldwide.dds" (this correspondends with the icon in the ui folder).

2. in the UI Folder (zoopedia) you can edit the:
icon_maplocations file (In the "lang" - language - file (if it is for an animal) you will have to make the path go directly to this file.).


And here's the list:

Long time ago, I've been read this trick in any forum (don't know which and by whom) and it has helped me:

It's possible to make the red placement area for objects and foliage smaller, if you divide the placement data in a half:

<ZTPlacementData waterPlacement="false" autoFootprint="false">
</ZTPlacementData>
<ZTPlacementData icon3Doffset="0 -0.089795 0.316138" icon3Dscale="0.1">
</ZTPlacementData>

"The water placement and footprint data must be in one set, and the icon3D data must be in the other. This confuses the game's footprint data and makes it free from snapping to the grid. Keep the icon3D numbers the same as for your base object, otherwise you will have a huge/tiny object in the preview window for your object."
