So basicly a grass with active growth cycle, graphic, wind effect, that grows on the desert eats more that other plant that grows in the desert with -1 grow cycle, graphic(opacity 0 is stil procesed as a color, black eats least memory) and no wind effect ?
Im not a programer so most likley im missing something. My point was a workaround for

It's still an object being placed somewhere on the map.  Even if it's invisible.  Now imagine you go place a large building on the desert, what happens when that building is destroyed? That invisible item has to grow back into those new empty spots.  Even if it's invisible, it's still processing something.  Looking for new empty desert spots to grow at all times.  It's better to just tell things not to grow in a desert rather than make a new invisible item that'll consume the entire desert.

Dunno then, i do like the cactus but sometimes when thers not alot of storms or when i dont use explosive barrels, i end up with a cactus forest, its kinda annoying with open defnces.
All i do is clutter all around.

Seriously, I've never even mined cactus or trees or any other plant, and I have never ended up with anything people are claiming they end up with.  I've seen screenshots of someone with a giant forest of trees taking every single square of their map with the Wood Economy mod, and that has not happened to me.  Nor has cactus issues ever struck.  I've played well past 100 days and rarely had storms in some of my maps and still never had an overgrow issue of any plant.  If you don't want cactus, just chop down any cactus in the map, once all 100% of them are gone, they can not come back.

vault dweller? You mean mining holes into mountains?  It doesn't matter if I do that because plants still grow.  I'd still have an overflow of plants if I built my bases inside mountains.  It's the best logical way to survive without needing to build so much.  It'd be protection from lightning, solar flares, raiders.  Though solar flares currently shut down everything anyway, mountains should provide protection from that.  Anyway.  I just don't see why people have issues with plants unless they are using the fast ecology cheat.
