"but increasing/decreasing height to a desired level seems impossible."

LukeH has a mod to change those, enhanced landscaping I believe.

I think it's funny how they added landscaping mechanics to the game yet we can only level to a flat spot on an existing height, and connect 2 existing heights with ramps, but increasing/decreasing height to a desired level seems impossible.

Thanks for maintaining all these gems for us, ChoGGi!

It still works fine.

Is this obsolete because it won't work with the current version of the game or because they added terraforming tools?

If I'm understanding correctly there is still no way to raise or lower terrain or create mountains in the base game?

v1.4
Made sure console log doesn't show up.

am seeing something odd. When I switch this menu on to do some light terrain scaping, afterward, what looks like a debug menu appears in the lower left corner of the screen? It shows event driven messages like sector scanning and eventually covers the entire side of the screen. I have to close out the game and restart it to get rid of it, and can confirm it only appears after using the editor.

... oooooh sorry XD

You have to press it in that order, also you can rebind it in the controls (scroll to the bottom).

Ctrl-Shift-Alt-D does nothing at all

I don't have any issues toggling the editor mode?

I try to update the pathing, so it should be fine, though you may need to save/load the map to update some grids.

Never heard of rockets not launching, mind zipping up your logs folder and uploading it somewhere?
%AppData%\Surviving Mars\logs

Broken AF. 4/5 times it breaks the overlay that you are forced to force quit the game. It can also corrupt the map so you get stuck rovers, rockets don't launch and pathing issues.
I really wanted this to work, cause the game needs a map editor badly.

Mysterious Update: i just used it again thinking "i saved and wanna go to sleep now anyway so whatever" and out of nowhere it straight up just worked...
I literally feel pain and relief at the same time... what a savage game lol

That's an inf loop, close enough to be a crash.

I just loaded a game with my lib mod and terraformer enabled, loaded a save, smoothed a bit, and turned it off. No freeze for me.

i thought about other mod confliction with this one but im seriously scratching my head which one could possibly conflict with it
besides most (not all but) mods i installed are made by you so that if it turns out to be a conflict then there shouldnt be much to go through

Well what i mean by repeatable is that whenever i used the smoth tool if i then go shift + f (end terra-mode) then the game not entirely crashes but i am stuck with the terra-mode ui while being able to scroll terrain only by mouse scrolling (wasd not working) and the game doesnt response whatsoever
which in turn forces me to quit and restart so basically maybe not really a "crash" per se
long story short its reproducible
atleast for me

by repeatable do you mean reproducible, or is it more random?

Hey just wanna let you know that im having repeatable crashes while leaving terra-mode after using the smooth brush
might be something that could be looked into
And also thank you very much for this tool of yours it is indeed a gift from heaven even if you have the slightest form of ocd lol
So in that regards god bless you!

hmm, could be something from going into editor mode devs left in? I'm not sure I can't repro it. Can anyone else or is it just Foskifoski? (wondering if it's something else I have enabled that's blocking it for me)

Confirmed.

Very simple, although I need to test it and confirm it: when you select a construction, and BEFORE placing it (giving the order to build it) you access your mod, if you press the construction it spawns automatically. Again: I need to confirm it.

Had an issue in my lib mod, should be fixed now.

When exiting the terraforming the game 'freezes', music still plays, I can move around the map but the menu is still there and nothing is clickable. Have to force quit the game.

For free? how?

Ok, thank you! In my opinion it should'nt. You can build any structure for free when using it :/

Only if you do not install this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1461207873

Hi! Thank you, this one is amazing. Sorry for the question: is it achievement compatible? Thanks!

Well not with this mod :)

I don't think anyone has made a mod for that? mostly just increasing the amount in existing ones
If you use ECM, than easy way is to select a deposit move the mouse to where you want a new one and press shift-q to clone it, then you can click on it and in the cheats pane dbl the max amount, or press f5 to open the object editor and change the amount/max_amount to whatever you want

How can I spawn a deposit

ECM is my mod, but like I said the set height works the same as the old flatten ground mod...

First of all I wanna rather your mod :)

I checked the guide. Ok I'll have a look at your bulldzer mod. Thank you :)

Well you can use ECM if you want that, or my bulldozer mod (it uses the same function).

Or check that guide I did, and use the Set height button.

Hey ChoGGi,

wasn't there an Shortcut for copying the height unter the current cursor position in the previous "without-menu" version? :) Now it is a bit hard to flatten exactly ^^

After first pressing nothing happens. And when I was talking about each mod I meant... oh, now I understood my mistake) Sorry :)

Press Shift-F again to update buildable area...

Am I missing something?


Each mod? Is there another mod?

There's nothing about how to make terrain buildable. (P.S. this link helps a bit, would be very useful to add it into descreption for each mod)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1530394137

How am I supposed to use this mod? Shift + F only enables some mysterious menu on the right side of my screen and nothing else. No flattering, no changes in buildable area, only menu, even without any poping up tips how to use it

v1.0
Fixed issue with shortcuts and multiple of my mods that use shortcuts.

v0.9
Rock removal now takes about a second.
Added Ctrl-Shift-Alt-D to delete objects (careful: it doesn't ask and will delete any object).
Changed default delete rocks key to Ctrl-Shift-1, and moved small rocks to Ctrl-Shift-2.

I just realised I could add that option to this mod easily, so next update you can use ctrl-shift-alt-d to delete objects (you can rebind in options like the rest).

Ok, I didn't know what you meant by ECM, but it looks like you mean your "expanded cheat menu" mod. Thanks.

Yeah, use ECM you can manually delete almost anything with it.

Is there no way to just remove some rocks?

It didn't say anything. They weren't bound. I bound them and now it works! Thanks for the super quick reply!

Open up options>keybindings and scroll to the bottom, what are the last two entries, and what keys do they have?

I'm probably doing something wrong but I cannot seem to remove the rocks? The rest works, I can flatten terrain, raise it, etc, but Ctrl Shift F doesn't work for me. :(

v0.8
Fixed Delete all Rocks being Shift-Ctrl-F instead of Ctrl-Shift-F.
Made sure bindings are now named in keybindings in in-game options, so you can change them to whatever.

Whoops I made it Ctrl-F instead of Shift-F in v0.6, I'll upload a new version :)

Shift-F doesn't work, but Ctrl-Shift-F does.

Just for kicks... I thought it would be kind of neat to see a bulldozer, steam-shovel, and/or crane gathered around the area being tarraformed. Probably not posible, but it would look neat.
