I was using yours mod in my server, but it made game impossible. You said that

Multiplayer is not tested. This mod uses Lua's math.random(), which could cause problems on multiplayer game and replays.

But people from Reddit, gave a nice tip, which may help you with solving this problem.

math.random is safe to use in a mod. The issue with that mod is he doesn't save things in the global table so they aren't persisted through save/load.

Attempting to call math.random() outside an event or during loading. This is invalid and will cause desyncs.

Would be nice to add support for other mods that add tiles so trees dont grow where they arent supposed like asphalt...

It actually seems quite easy to do if the other mod devs actually used a namespace convention on their tile names like Asphalt mod has.

You just need to change the test_tile function to use a string.find and check if the tile name is contained, so you just need to look for 'Arci-asphalt' to check if its one of asphalt tiles instead of adding all the asphalt tile names to the code!!
