Foliage instances disappear around Fortnite Rocks and Cliff props In-game

Summary

When placing rocks and cliff props onto a landscape or near a foliage instance, foliage disappears around these props. The foliage tool is affected as well when painting trees or bigger objects, it’ll disappear if you place rocks or cliffs near them. Only a small amount of rocks and modular cliff pieces work correctly with foliage. This only appears in-game and not in the editor.
