Scatter is not random when Perpendicular is on, it repeats itself: looking dumb

Hi everyone,

 

I recently have started to use Scatter for mass-placing grass (as it seems there is no other real option for mass-placing stuff) on a terrain.

 

I have noticed that when Perpendicular is on, the objects do align with the surface normals, but it changes the scatter pattern and creates a repeating pattern:

 

Perpendicular off:

Perpendicular On:

The surface is just a plane with 10x10 divisions, so I don't get what is happening..is this tool really useless?

It seems I can't adjust the "tiling" of this pattern.

 

I've created this post since I couldn't find anything regarding this behaviour online.

 

 

Thanks.
