I gave the tools a good go a few months ago, one thing i did at the end that i wished i did sooner was test my plants in a grid with temperature rising in X and precipitation rising in Z. this simple grid with not too many plants scattered showed me why some plants were not covering areas i thought they should. i could see where there were places where no plant would grow and when i blurred values in temperature and precipitation, it made inhospitable areas. i ended up tweaking some generic shrubs to fill in areas like that. Perfect for debugging
