Terrain connecting to blocks

[Allyraya]

I would like to have the asphalt i placed for my driveway connect to the concrete blocks I placed for my garage floor, but it does not. Is it just a matter of adding some sort of mod to make them connect, or is there a way to do it vanilla? There is currently a v-shaped gap that is a bit jolting to drive over.

Could you show a screenshot? I was thinking you wanted asphalt, the terrain block, to collect to your concrete blocks. terrain blocks will never fit flush against building blocks because they are smooth voxels. Idk if you are saying that so idk, I can't picture what's wrong.

You can put down some fences flat on the ground...the solid wood ones that are first in the selection option rather than the white picket. They are like 1 pixel thin, then paint them as concrete or something...not what you are looking for but at least a workaround.
They can even be upgraded to cobblestone etc for added durability.

You are correct, that is what I was hoping for, sadly.

Maybe even a flat plate shape over top so the bump is less? I never really pay close attention to POI garages

Actually, that is a good point, I should have checked those out. The floor of the garage of the POI i am in was terrain before I replaced it, but there's got to be garages in the 2 towns near me that will help, thanks for the idea!

Query, how/where would I share a screenshot? I took one of my driveway, and one each of a couple different POI's, showing what I have and what the POI's have (that I want). If it is truly not possible without the mod suggested by JOST AMMAN - a mod I am unsure of - then I will have to use some sort of cover as suggested previously.

It is not possible, without a mod.

You can use "sheets" to cover the gaps - they are flatter than "plate" and are essentially invisible height wise when placed on ground/on top of other blocks. And then use paint to give them a gravel or concrete look.

If you are less concerned with mega-defense, because of difficulty settings or a separate "horde base", say, you can also use asphalt as the block that is 1 block below ground level (instead of player building blocks), thus it will "merge" with ground level asphalt/terrain you place next to it. Has less hit points than concrete tho, of course.

If you're SP, you could also edit the blocks.xml (terrAsphalt, change 'maxdamage') to give asphalt a little hit point boost, so they're still weaker than concrete but not quite as large a gap - example: 3000 instead of 1500. Or just up it to concrete hit points.
Making them a little more useful as a below-ground block that can still merge with ground terrain for a few specific purposes.

Otherwise, yeah, sheet-shape and paint only other way in vanilla.

I did, and I found the 1/2 sheet block did nicely for a cover while being all but unnoticeable, but I am still looking for if there is a better solution.

So the first 2 are POI's where the terrain of the driveway butts up against the blocks of the POI, and the 3rd is mine, before I covered the edges with sheeting.
