Hold RMB to flatten terrain at road building not working (realism mode) => Not a bug

[starman01]

Hi all,

(edit) not a bug, just my settings problem

is this a bug, or maybe just a reference to a wrong key ? When I place down a building, RMB works fine to flatten the terrain. But while I get the same prompt when laying down a road, it doesn't flatten at all, RMB just cancels me out of the road building.

Any advice ?

it sound like a bug in your game but i dont know why it behave like that.

Two days ago i build some roads and railroad and it was possible to automatic adjust the ground below the road and railroad uphill without problems.
I select the road and drag a line on the map and keep holding in the left mouse, and when i want to level the ground i hold in right mouse button and in my game it work as it should.

I play on the experimential branch and its a brand new savegame.
I have played now and then since day one in early access and i never had a bug like yours.

try to verify the game files.

Ah, i think i found it... I remapped "cancel tool" to the RMB, which is exactly what happens....
That's a bit annoying, since i can't remap this to ESC either.... Gotta have to get used to a new key then...

I had it remapped too, because I was used to RMB being cancel from other games.
There were other occasions where it was disturbing... like the flatten terrain you mentioned.

Yes, pressing ESC cancels the assignment rather than assigning ESC.
IMHO it is not necessary to be able to cancel an assignment because you always have to save changes to the key settings or are able to cancel them.
So I'd consider this ESC drama a bug.
