Guide how to create an island?

[Lailantie]

I searched in google, youtube and whatever, but I didn't find any guide in German or English how to create a new custom island. First of all, do I create a world or an island, and what's the difference. And then this editor, I don't understand what it does. What are these light blue objects on the terrain, how do I shape the island etc.

Does anyone have a link where I could learn about that? Thank you!

Auto-filling of terrain doesn't seem to work anymore, or at least it didn't for me the last time I tried, but otherwise it's pretty much accurate.

Thank you!

A world consist of the whole map on the cartographer that includes around 40 islands. Down at the bottom you can choose to create a whole new world seed or just create an island. If you create an island it will give you a random shape. From there you use the tools to shape the island under terrain. The objects menu gives you all of the objects that you can place on the map.

There is a stranded deep discord for map makers somewhere in the threads. I will move a link to it under my thread Deezmaps by Deeznuts. If you would like i would be happy to spend some time with you in discord to answer your questions and show you by stream how to do these things.

Wow, thank you Deez :) I have experience in terraforming and landscaping in Second Life. Once I realized that the blue area is kindof my brush, things worked, but quite awkward. There's only raise and lower, in Second Life there's also smoothen and flatten. And the camera... right mouse click and then use WASD always moves my camera way out and it is very unintuitive for me. I also didn't find any preview. I ended up not being able to undo what I did and after around 30 minutes sweating I gave up for now. When I feel like giving it a second try and look for the discord.

Again thank you for your support!

Agrook has a bunch of vids on YouTube, including one on island creation.

there is a smooth and flatten. its at the right side of the terrain menu. The blue area is the brush and you can change size and type of brush. There is not a undo button as such but there is a delete button at the bottom right of the object menu. There is also a clone button at the bottom for cloning a certain object. You can also use the c button for cloning.
