Can not clear Toxic puddle
I have a toxic puddle in the mountains, unreachable via Drones or Commander. I tried the landscaping tools, but flatten doesn't work as the object is blocking, flatten up to it doesn't work as the remaining slope is still too steep, and ramp doesn't work as there is only one flat, but not two flat surfaces. How can I remove this puddle?

If you cant reach it with drones or the dozer then you cannot.
If you had flying drones this would not be a problem. You would just need to get close enough with an RC commander.

I think with enough % terraforming those toxic puddles get removed automatically.

At least i had a toxic lake and it dissappeared by itsself. I got like 100% temp, atmo and water. And about 90% forest. So not sure what triggers it exactly lol ....

They dont clear by themselves. You must have had a drone in range once and he did the deed.

For me it looked like clean rain just washed it away. I mean there is a reason why u can upgrade toxic rain into clear rain, no? Because i think toxic puddles only get created once u get enough % rain or atmo, so to me it sounded logical that clean rain would wash it away?

But sry if this is confusing :c

Thanks everyone, I was able to clear it finally.
I had to "shimmy" up to it (right next to it) with the smallest flatten tool which made the flatness gradually creep up to it and reduced the final slope eventually so the drones could reach it.
It's a tedious process and shouldn't be this hard/manual design wise. It took about 50 "flatten" commands.
