[Valley] No random placement of forest blocks 6-3-x

When I'm placing a series of trees, by holding down space and moving with the cursor in one direction,
there is no random rotation of the tree blocks 6-3-1, 6-3-2 and 6-3-3:

So the result looks like a plantation or nursery garden ("pépinière" in French) and less natural.

And there is no tree block like in Canyon that could be placed on the sides of the hill (Terraforming type 2).
I had the hope that the "overlay" (Terraforming type 6) would make it, but it works only on flat ground or flat top of hills/mountains.

The overlay can be placed on hillsides. The hills must be placed first and the overlay must also cover some flat area on both the top and the bottom of the hill, so it doesn't work if you only want to cover the hillsides.

Cool, thanks! That did the trick, and the overlay block is only working if your selection is at least 2 blocks large.

As you can see, the overlay is randomizing nicely

So this report is now only about missing random tree placement for the 3 forest blocks ;)
