Easy Way n creating slopes?

[Kit Fulvas]

creating a road from my meadows community to a small dock near a river. paving a road for easy use of cart isnt going to well with how steep some slopes. Any way on making easy use slopes. Im currently minning, leveling, mining, leveling, ect. and that takes forever and creates bumpy land not useful for the cart.

Just use stairs. Carts go up them fine, as long as you dont overfill.

Honestly, I'd just clear the bushes and trees, meadows are easy to maneuver. The hoe is really wonky and at times makes things worse. I only used it to go through a black forest cuz it was too dense to maneuver.

Seriously, that bumpy land problem... At least half the time the hoe won't smooth things out no matter how much I use it, and sometimes makes things bumpier than before.

Is this the secret to leveling? Time to test and see.

You could also use 26 degree thatched roofs as ramps and slopes - you can even pull carts up them.

hoe: click= level ground to the height you are standing on. Shift+click= level ground to the height at the center of your target.

To properly level/slope you need a mining pick as well for this very reason (refill to desired level with the hoe). Having rock for small fills helps on sharp grades. Also, use of the lift function and position on cuts makes a huge difference.

Practice with a hoe on side cuts before using the paving option, to know where to place and keep your level or slope. This will save you a ton of stone wasted on crappy paving placement.

Mining forward continuously will also create a nice smooth slope up but the grade difference can be dramatic through hills and will create a ravine so be aware.

For most slopes, I find that starting at the top and using "level" directly under my feet every few steps downward makes a smooth enough incline

OP practice this...best basic description yet that will help you quickly.
