is there any way to raise land, love the mashines to level land, but like the south hope the land get soo low and always have a huge edge !?!?!?

Other than using mods you are stuck with shoveling dirt and using rake to level it (good luck doing that over a large area)

sound soo awesome level all south hope out.. but didn't rake level land before ( raise and lower land) they removed that option?!?

I tried to level South Hope with that whatever its called roller-pin-vehicle, but i didnt really like it, its fast sure, but it somehow still ends up uneven here and there and that just kills my OCD. As for the rake, for me its the way to go, omega Zen gaming. Very slow, but very accurate. Its also a massive pain to use cause it keeps twitching and refuses to cooperate, but it is what it is. Try it XD

And by the way, raking South Hope is cake walk compared to nuking South Hope, and i have done that too, never again.

Without Improved Rakes mod i don't even bother leveling out anything other than tiny work areas (like for crops or patches of dirt for drills) even tho my OCD screams at me.

Way too much work too tedious and yea the Roller is next to useless it somehow makes the ground more uneven even when you try hard and drive carefully and slowly it still somehow sinks at random spots ruining your true flat.

The vanilla Rake CAN be used to raise land, but it's tedious work. If you build a small pile of Dirt in a single Grid Square, point the Rake at the Pile from above, and click, it'll fill the rest of the Grid Square. Not fun over large areas, but this can be used to fill in a few holes that get dug in early game play. It takes a little practice to figure it out, but it does work.

EDIT: The height of the pile MUST be more than half a Grid Square high. It doesn't need to be wide, it just needs to be more than half a Grid Square in the direction the you're pointing the Rake from...

No it doesnt.

If you want to fill a completely empty square all you need to do is to put 4 shovels of dirt, one into each bottom corner (more like inbetween each corner and the center point), then aim at the top corner closest to you and you will be able to fill it all the way to the top with one rake click.

Same way you can remove an entire full square of dirt if you aim at the bottom corner closest to you of the square you want to remove.

There are some specific exceptions to this, but in general this works 95% of the time.

Edit: by specific exceptions i mean for example: if you are standing on a flat dirt and you want to extrude a cube of dirt up, and you know the grid position, then yes what Klandor said is true. Make a dirt pylon and click the top with a rake. But normally when you are just flattening out the landscape you dont need no other tools other than a rake.

well in the recent update they added something that does, but all I can say is that its locked behind the quests at Bastion Keep

well i use the roller and find it quite even if you make sure you roll everywhere, but sure be carefull it don't begin to bump around than it for sure make deeper level out of the blue.
