@bluecarrot16 Plants for foraging seem like a cool idea! This reminds me of an academic movement from my country called PANC, which translates to something like "unconventional food plants", advocating for the reintroduction of many edible species that were once used but fell out of favour once industrialized agriculture took over. Resources from PANC organisations have loads of lists of forageable species, the ones i found are not in english but the scientific names and photos can give you a starting point if you wanted to pursue more research on unusual forageable species. Here's one such list of plants. Also, if you wanted to make specific bushes, maybe different types of berry bushes could be made with minimal work? Wikipedia has a list of culinary fruits divided by type, and they feature loads of berries i personally had never heard about.
Also, i have to mention my conflicts of interest! I have a spare-time project for creating assets depicting species, especially threatened ones, so I'm a bit biased towards representing real ones. Right now there's not enough material for people wanting to represent real-world biomes in games or science communication, but I'm not sure how much people would need such assets in more general-purpose games, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt :D
Hey! Personally i think some "realistic" plants and crops could really be useful for people, that and an expansion to your amazing workshop/crafts packs. By realistic i meant correlated to real species (non-fantasy) as that matches well with the crafts environments and even the chemistry machines set, if you think about it. The antique office one also seems intriguing, i made a pack with that exact theme once but i think it isn't very useful since it's not LPC themed and there aren't many other assets made in the same style.
Hey! Minor thing, but i found a piece that wasn't included in this pack while mirroring it to Wikimedia Commons. You added it to the environmental/buildings zip by mistake, though a very similar variant is already on this one. The env. pack also has about 3 pieces that are vehicle concept arts, i believe :)
Not that it matters much since i believe everyone who found these useful is downloading them all like i did, thanks for sharing these!
I really appreciate your work cataloguing and mirroring libre artworks here! OGA is good for assets but we could use more concept art and i would never find stuff like this or the Ryzom art packs if it wasn't for you. Thanks a lot!
Hello! I think you missed a line on the readme, it says "The above license does not apply to the contents of the pack also included in the free demo" right below the license for the full pack. But to reduce confusion, i have edited the readme to make that clearer, removing the full pack license since it doesn't apply there.
I like these! Since they are PD photography i'd like to reupload them in Wikimedia Commons so they can be used for things like illustrating Wikipedia articles; i just wanted to check if you have already uploaded them there otherwise i'll do it for you. Also, do you know any of the plant names you photographed in the Garden folder? That would help :)

I really love your style, so glad to see the city pack getting expanded! Amazing work :)
I really really love the look of these. Nice work!
Good icons! I made a quick looping animation with one of them, for a pickup of sorts: https://opengameart.org/content/animated-feather-pickup
