Higher values pull more branching toward that cell — use it to optimise where capillaries concentrate.

03 Cell subdivision

Auto — finer cells where dense

Max subdivision2 → ¼ size

Splits high-density (red) cells into smaller cells, so capillaries there grow finer and pack tighter — more linework per area = more wetted surface for evaporation. Pick the Subdiv tool to refine cells by hand (click steps finer).

04 Roots

Or pick the Root tool and click to place feed-points. Fewer roots + higher reach = longer connected veins.
