they still didnt fix the allignment mod

[Double Deez Nuts]

it doesnt rotate as you draw a straight line is there a workaround?

[Philtre]

What do you mean? The way to use the alignment mod is to create a small "reference" area, then turn it off and use the normal flatten function of the terrain tool to extend the surface from that point.

[DC-GS]

He probably dont want a flat surface but a curved which is always parallel to the core, always at the same height.

[Ittrix]

The short version of it is that if you use the alignment mod at that moment it'll be aligned with the core. If you spread it out it'll be flat, and slowly become unaligned.

If you spam clicks every little bit of distance it'll... more or less be aligned so that you won't notice it being odd otherwise.

and then you get cracks and stuff it still needs work but the devs just dont want to touch it

its still bad lets be honest

[Darzan]

Alignment mod is done quite badly but it works somewhat:

* you may want to have few cans of soil in your backpack before you start
* remove all obstacles from ground you going to smooth
* raise camera above you, pointed down
* have camera on minimal zoom so you can see more surface
* create place with desired altitude and smooth surface starting from it
* make quick circles around area you going to smooth until it looks good
* keep camera pointed down or it will be uneven

>turn it off and back on again
not fun and makes curve bumpy and inaccurate eventually anyway

havent u heard of qol

Don't turn the alignment mod off and on. Make a small reference spot with the alignment mod, then turn it off (permanently), and use the normal smoothing function of the terrain tool to make a flat area as large as you want.

It's funny, if it worked the other way, if it flattened conforming to planets' curvature, these ♥♥♥♥♥♥' people would be complaining that it doesn't create flat planes. Ideally it would do both with a toggle, or maybe we could have a second mod that flattens to curvature.

But good luck getting the ragtag crew of SE interns and new hires and marketing staff practicing/interviewing on Astro to create anything useful for the game.

What with all the staggeringly underwhelming "major" content updates this year, I don't blame you.
