Filling a hole

[Arachnyd]

I read, last night, about using ceiling tiles instead of foundation tiles. This morning I rebuilt my camp (still early game) and when I deconstructed the foundation tiles, I have a massive hole that the rake will not fill. How can I fill this hole?

Drop in one block of your preferred terrain and use the rake to spread it around.

When using the Magic Hammer, the row at the very bottom when you hold Alt is for terrain. You can then choose a shape to place, and place a certain amount of that terrain in the hole. If you dug out some dirt, for example, you can choose the square shape, dirt as the material, and just fill the hole until it's level with the surrounding ground. You can then use the rake to smooth it out as you want.

If you're trying to fill a hole left by a foundation block, there is a wide, flat shape you can use that fits perfectly in that hole. Just place a couple layers of that, or however much you need to level the ground again.

Rakes can only smooth half a foundation blocks height. Jump into the hole and try smoothing smaller layers one at a time.

use the hammer to manipulate the terrain construct and deconstruct terrain is better

I don't have any dirt blocks....still early game. I do have dirt, though, but it would not let me place that. I'll look at the hammer and see if that'll work. Never occurred to me to use the hammer to manipulate terrain.

Dirt Blocks don't exist.

The hammer would be how you place dirt. You have to open the hammer brushes menu and scroll to the options that have the green mountain icon. The green mountain icon is terrain manipulation, while the blocks icon is all the blocks prefabs.

Take into account you can override terrain with blocks, but you can't do the opposite. You have to remove the blocks, before you can refill the space with terrain.

Ok, thanks to all who responded. Gargoyle Girl was the response that solved my problem, but everyone offered something I didn't know :-)

Thanks Again
