Scenery Map Construction Set (I need suggestions!)

I am making a collection of scen tags that we can use in our scenery-based maps. Which types of objects do you want to have available?
So far, it will include:
- Asteroids - small, medium, large
Clipping Dividers (can be used to hide areas of a map from view, ie. to hide a secret room) - large
Cubes - small
Fog planes - large
Glass panels - small; unbreakable and breakable
Ladders - small
Platforms - small, medium, large
Spheres - small, medium, large
Staircases - spiral and straight
Water planes - small, medium, large; shallow, medium depth, deep
Any other ideas? Buildings are too complicated, you'll have to design those on your own by using combined scen objects.
Official List
will release a tag pack
Atmospheres (fog, underwater)
Buildings -
need links to 3ds max or .obj model files
Furniture (bed, bench, chair, crate with bananas, ladder, lamps, staircases, stool, table, trash can)
Geometric Shapes (cubes, square platforms, spheres)
Liquids (waterfalls, rivers, lakes, ponds, swimming pool, water planes)
Rocks (asteroids)
Terrains (desert, mountains, hills, flat, ocean, swamp, random)
Vegetation (palm trees)

maybe different shape platforms of different sizes? like octagonal, triangular, circular etc.
and maybe flat planes that act like ice?
add a good addion would be bsp bases, like one that is just flat, and one that is slightly hilly.

See the Flatgulch mod
I thought that this would be too awkward to handle, but if you want...
I already provide flat "planes" as scen and even Flatgulch, which is a huge flat bsp. Ice behavior is already possible using Eschaton alone.
And a mountain range, too?

That would be epic.
really, so i can make the vehicles skid out and such? or is it just "foot effects?"

Set the sbsp's shader environment to ice material. Also make changes in the matg tag.

ok, thx sparky. also another idea, maybe scen, which is a single hill? with several variants? this would be quite cool to make scen-based maps that are natural.

A decent palm tree, and some random terrain pieces.

I have found all the different types of box_buildings from Mota's tags pack to be quite useful in the formation of scen-based maps. Hangar walls as well.

Thanks, all. An official list is in the first topic, and I'll make a "Sparky's Construction Set Tag Pack" or something like that in the near future.

Ramps would be nice

like wedges? there are CE ramps already available that consist of a flat surface with curved edges and supported by a pillar of sorts. I could make one sized for the warthog.

what about a speed zone, like a turbo boost zone? Like a gravlift, except it accelerates things
