1. Install in a C++ UE5.5 project
Clone the repository into the project Plugins directory, enable Seele Scatter Regions, regenerate project files if prompted, and compile.
Open-source Unreal Engine 5.5 editor plugin
Seele Scatter Regions
Seele Scatter Regions generates naturally scattered villages, farms, and cemeteries from project-owned Static Mesh recipes. Choose a location, size, and seed, then produce Landscape-projected instanced content in the Unreal Editor.
Direct answer
Use this MIT-licensed beta plugin when a UE5.5 C++ project needs repeatable region layouts without depending on Unreal Engine PCG. It supports C++, a Blueprint-callable Editor Subsystem, and JSON automation.
Quick start: generate a repeatable region
2. Create or edit a recipe
Choose Village, Farm, or Cemetery and assign project-owned meshes, weights, density, and scale ranges.
3. Set the region specification
Provide region type, world-space center, size in meters, seed, and the recipe asset path.
4. Generate and validate
Inspect success, actor and instance counts, Landscape projection hits, warnings, misses, and errors before accepting the result.
What the plugin exposes
Recipe-driven placement
Configure meshes, weights, density, and scale ranges in reusable ScatterRegionRecipeDataAsset assets.
Seeded generation
Repeat a layout when recipe, seed, input specification, and relevant scene state remain the same.
Landscape projection
Project candidate locations onto Landscape and inspect projection attempts, hits, and misses.
Instanced rendering
Group generated meshes into UInstancedStaticMeshComponent output for editor-authored regions.
Three integration paths
Call the editor generator through C++, the Blueprint-callable Editor Subsystem, or the JSON adapter.
Structured results
Review generated actor, instance, component, slot, bounds, warning, and error fields.
Current region outputs
Village
Building clusters, local props, roads, fences, and gates based on the active recipe.
Farm
Roads, dirt patches, crop fields, and scarecrow placements using project-owned content.
Cemetery
Paths, tombs, and memorial buildings arranged from the cemetery recipe.
Validation record
Success state, generated actor, counts, projection results, warnings, and errors for the requested region.

Best fit
- Unreal Engine 5.5 C++ editor projects
- Repeatable village, farm, or cemetery layouts
- Teams bringing their own Static Mesh content
- C++, Blueprint, or JSON editor automation
Still needs human review
- Version 0.1.0 does not generate at packaged-game runtime
- Other Unreal versions are outside the validated matrix
- Preview meshes and materials are not bundled
- Composition, collision, navigation, performance, and rights remain project responsibilities
Seele Scatter Regions FAQ
What does Seele Scatter Regions generate?
It generates recipe-driven village, farm, and cemetery layouts with project-owned meshes, roads, boundaries, fields, tombs, and supporting props.
Which Unreal Engine version is supported?
Version 0.1.0 is built and validated for Unreal Engine 5.5 in a C++ project.
Does the plugin require Unreal Engine PCG?
No. It uses its own seeded editor-side generator and does not depend on the Unreal Engine PCG plugin.
Can it generate regions at game runtime?
Not in version 0.1.0. Generation runs in the Unreal Editor; generated actors and instanced components can be saved with the level.
Can I use my own meshes?
Yes. Recipes reference Static Mesh assets that your project owns; the public repository includes only lightweight test recipes.
How can automation call the plugin?
Use the C++ generator, Blueprint-callable Editor Subsystem, or JSON command adapter documented in the repository.
What license does the plugin use?
The public plugin source is released under the MIT License.
