## What it is
ProtonScatter is a Godot 4 add-on that procedurally and non-destructively automates the placement of props and scenes within an area. It uses a Blender-like modifier stack of positioning rules combined with ScatterItem and ScatterShape nodes to scatter assets onto surfaces or along edges.

## Use cases
- scatter grass and rocks on terrain in godot
- randomly place props in a game scene
- procedurally populate a level with trees
- automate asset placement instead of doing it by hand
- project objects onto collider surfaces in godot
- fill an area with instanced scenes non-destructively

## When to choose
- you use Godot 4 and need to place many props procedurally
- you want a non-destructive, modifier-based placement workflow
- you need to scatter vegetation, rocks, or details onto arbitrary geometry

## When to avoid
- you need procedural placement in engines other than Godot
- you only need to place a handful of objects manually
- you need runtime dynamic scattering with complex custom logic beyond the provided modifiers
