Add / Fill terrain ?

[rightfn]

I got the 'level/flatten' upgrade for the MOLE but it doesn't seem to fill in holes or missing terrain.

Is there a way to do this?

The Flatten upgrade does work for filling in small holes. The problem I'd guess you're having is the aiming assist for the MOLE in Flatten mode sucks.

The other problem is I don't think it fills in terrain like you want it to. If you have a mostly flat ground with one or two little divots you want to get rid of or a bit of extra ridge line above the side - Flatten.

If you want to extend a rock face instead of using powered floors, then I think you're out of luck.

Yeah, you're thinking along the wrong lines if you want to build with dirt. You can build with floors and erase terrain, but you aren't able to put it back.
There's two kinds of terrain. Protected and terrain that I haven't erased yet.

On second attempt, Flatten mode will extend terrain. Sometimes. Maybe. It really doesn't want to though. Got it to make a bigger sand ridge, but the rock ledge above the sand didn't want to budge.

Lots of aiming issues so I can't tell exactly what the problem was. Just use powered floors as it's not worth the headache of wrestling with Flatten mode to extend a cliff edge.

Can still repair divots well enough.

Someone said you need to have limestone in your inventory to fill in holes with flatten.

[SourHammer]

Yes from what I can tell it consumes limestone when you put material back with the flatten mode.

Yes, limestone is the cost to use it. If you run out, the tool behaves like a gag video.

Even though what you tore up and what you're standing on is sand or whatever, limestone is always how we fix these mixups with flatten.
