In this demo, you still can:

-remove and add cells (top left corner is edit mode selection)
- move around with WASD and mouse (Shift to accelerate)
- upload your own heightmap from disk using full path

What's added:

- preloaded heightmap 
- Interactive water simulation (Frenzy Byte https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/fluid-frenzy-273366)
- pioneer plants growth and death based on accumulated water value
- simulation controls, including time skip

For heightmap uploading: 

- use FULL path, like C:\Users\Firewalk\Pictures\hgtmp1.png 
- no quotation marks around the path
- add the format of the selected  file in the end, like .jpeg

In the dowloads section of this page you can find 2 examples of heightmaps from open sources.

Camera controls:
Mouse + WASD + SHIFT for acceleration. Mouse click for terraforming
