Foliage mode - have foliage assets stick inside/below the landscape

Hello!

Currently I’m running into a behavior where foliage seems to get shifted/positioned back “on top” of the landscape whenever I sculpt the terrain in the same tile as that foliage asset. To give a visual example here’s a video to demonstrate this behavior:

Up until now I’ve tried the following things:

  • Adding Exclusion landscape layers and adding the name of the heightmap
  • Turning off the “Normal align” option (out of desperation)
  • Adjusting the “valid height” values
  • Adjusting the collision preset

My question is if someone know how I can resolve this. Nearly all searches to look for an answer end up finding the inverse, where people want it to stick to the landscape or re-parent it to the landscape. I’m technically looking for the opposite.
