Terrain terraforming and removal of crash debris.

[Skay24]

Will there be terraforming in the future? This question has been asked before, but in 1.0 you want to know if everyone will be able to fill craters or remove debris? And I'm not asking if it's planned, just when it can be added. Because I'm waiting for this option before I buy the game.

Hi Skay!

Terraforming and terrain manipulation is not in our plans for the future of Stranded: Alien Dawn. You can remove crash spaceship debris if you have the "Salvage" research option unlocked, but you won't be able to fill in the craters and will have to build around them.

Personally,I build over them. Careful floor placement is key. Makes a good place for share panels, wind farms, and construction materials storage.

It's can't use up a lot of flooring but usually hay soil does will do do a lot. Also a good place for a landing pad if you've got the metal, stone, or concrete,

Infrastructure and housing.

I use the craters to build housing. Since the craters force the terrain to be permanently infertile, structures are the only use for those sections of land, and spares the useful fertile land from being wasted by construction that doesn't grow anything.

That said, I would still like the ability to flatten terrain. Seriously, if native americans can haul millions of baskets of dirt and build giant platform mounds, I should be able to get a few people to shovel over a plowed-up pile into the crater it came from.

There should be a way to flatten the crash sites at minimum...

Hi! I've just made something about the craters. It's still WiP, but please give it a try. Any feedback will be highly appreciated. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3004997517

I just started a new game with that mod enabled. I tend to play very long games, so I'll let you know if I discover any issues or have any feedback.

Great!
