There is no information on where the tool is meant to appear in the UI. Can't find it and unsure if it just isn't appearing.

It works @Aethelfrith! Just not so as we thought. It's not enough, just activating the mod when starting Banished, you have to load your save game first, and activate the mod for this specific playthrough! I allready flatten succsessfully the clay pit holes in my town! :D

This doesn't work with completely with North, FYI. It will flatten terrain, but NOT when you empty a clay pit. RIP my beautiful town layout because there's a big f*****g hole in the middle of it that I can't get rid of ;-;

What remove tool are you supposed to use? I have already removed the resources from the area, so how do I flatten the area?
BrittleCannon Feb 10, 2022 @ 12:10am 
How to use this tool:
1) install mod and enable in game
2) use remove tool over area you want to flatten
3) use remove structure tool over area with yellow marks created by step 2
4) build structure of your choice, IE: profit

Great must have mod, nuf said.
Goddess Fae Oct 23, 2020 @ 6:42am 
@kOOsmaty: Not to answer for the author, but have you tried using the "Remove Structure" tool (the one that looks like a house with a slash through it) on the area after it's been flattened? That will remove the yellow marks and let you build on that area. HTH

Fantastic mod works perfectly,

is there an tool to place water?
The Apex Wolf Jun 21, 2019 @ 6:55am 
**IN ORDER FOR IT TO CORRECTLY WORK**

When you flatten an area, You should choose the "Remove Structure" option, Than drag it over that area so it removes the little tools logo it creates when flattening an area. Make sure there are no logs etc. on the area, Those need to be removed before doing the above. Please state this in your mod description, Nontheless, Good mod!

I love this mod! I actually used it to create a peninsula into a lake just big enough for my fishing hut so that it maximized the amount of water that could be fished in. :lunar2019grinningpig: And it really helps when I get to the edge of the map and need more space; I can just flatten as far as it will let me! Another bonus: after placing mines, I can flatten the terrain around them so I can easily place stockpiles. One caveat, though (and this is something I learned the hard way): be careful if you flatten across water; if it's a stream that deer use and you've placed a hunting lodge in the area, it can affect the production of that lodge. (Maybe because the deer no longer have access to water, so they go elsewhere?) And, while I haven't done this, I would imagine that if you flatten across a river that is a merchant's trade route, they will no longer be able to pass through there.

is there any way to make ths mod "excavtae" the area so the dirt can be put somwhere else and the workers remove that land rather than a magical god like hand?
Lotrax Feb 22, 2018 @ 1:22pm 
Crashes in latest version, no other mods used.
monsterdhal Dec 2, 2017 @ 1:20pm 
Great mod, very happy! :o)
Supertoche2001 Aug 11, 2017 @ 7:31am 
very sympathic ^^
Semirotta Mar 23, 2017 @ 2:52pm 
Could you add the possibility to place down water ? :)
Jacob Jan 14, 2017 @ 6:37pm 
make a mod that allows you to make rivers and stuff
Autumn Apr 17, 2016 @ 2:09am 
Crashes the game and you can't build on the terrain once it's flattened. Bad mod.
BACON Mar 17, 2016 @ 1:54am 
지형을 평평하게 만들어주는 툴을 추가해줍니다. 이용법도 쉽고 편리합니다. nice mod
mushi Jul 13, 2015 @ 11:02am 
If you use whit caution is a very useful tool, thanks
Cav Kilroy Jul 10, 2015 @ 7:11pm 
@MrWarSpoon use the remove building button to get rid of yellow construction symbols, but first let villagers clear any resources
Smokie Treats Jul 5, 2015 @ 8:15pm 
Issue: after I drag the tool over the terrain to flatten, I'm left with the little yellow symbols for construction on each square. I can't build anything on top of that area.
umrylmz Jun 28, 2015 @ 12:33pm 
Fantastic mod indeed... I'm searching slightly similar tool: I wanna make little ponds and rivers inside my town. So if anyone know a mod does that please let me know.
Gowiththeflow Apr 10, 2015 @ 2:07am 
excellent extra tool but make sure you want an area flatened, no going back

Is this even Johnmckinney90 mod I know you have stolen mods before john.
FiveAgainst1 Jan 8, 2015 @ 7:29pm 
Yeah this just crashes the game the instant I try to play with it enabled.
Steph Dec 31, 2014 @ 2:53am 
Now all we need is a raise terrain :) Can't live without this mod by the way.
McDoogle Dec 27, 2014 @ 8:36pm 
Note: After you choose to flatten the terrain, let the laborers clear it, then use remove building on the area, it alows you to build
Pettingson Dec 27, 2014 @ 7:34am 
I tried making a mod like this too. What is sad when it comes to this mod is that we're using the hardcoded way of flattening ground. A simple thing called "_flattenGround". The sad thing about it is that if we want to see other ways of terraforming, the game's creator has to put them in first. I wouldn't say never, but i don't think it's possible at the moment to do more than just flatten to a preset hight... :/
InsideOutFace Dec 25, 2014 @ 9:41am 
I'd like to see this expanded with two additional tools: Raise Cliff, and Dig Trench. Raise Cliff would lift the highlighted terrain tiles to mountain height, while Dig Trench would drop them to become water tiles.
Ledonev Dec 22, 2014 @ 1:50am 
This is a fantastic tool. As the Author indicates... USE WITH CAUTION.

The tool flattens areas but leaves the existing terrain texture. So, if it's a brown mountain... it will be a brown, flat spot. If it's a muddy river bed, it will be a muddy brown flattened patch of dirt. But be careful, there is no "undo" button.

For those who are having trouble loading it. Launch Banished, click on Mods in the main menu, enable the one you want. Load your game.

Then, go back into the Mods menu and see if it is still enabled. For some reason, Banished forgets which mods you loaded when you launch the game. This usually resolves the problem.
xmiface Dec 18, 2014 @ 8:56pm 
It's add a new tool and it's smooths mountain, but i can't build something on this place, could you fix it or only me have problem with it?
Acey Drgn Dec 17, 2014 @ 11:50am 
Not working.
blaide99 Nov 22, 2014 @ 3:12am 
Great mod. I would like a little upgrade where you can paint the terrain after flattenintg it because it leave a brown muddy look
scorpionleader Nov 19, 2014 @ 4:22am 
It doesn't work with medium maps.
TessaQ Nov 17, 2014 @ 5:54pm 
The button to use the mod is not showing. I have reinstaled, am updated and removed all other mods. still will now show up.
scorpionleader Nov 17, 2014 @ 7:47am 
If I could only pick one mod, this would be it. Helps with OCD.
DaKoTa Nov 16, 2014 @ 8:47am 
Found a minor bug. If you remove places with water and build a quary on top this happens http://i.imgur.com/YGVqVQy.jpg There will flow water through the quary
blaide99 Nov 15, 2014 @ 2:44pm 
It does what it says, however it would be better if the terrain mades the looks of grass instead of dirt. An option to make grounds come up would be reallt good.
Aender Nov 15, 2014 @ 12:13pm 
love it works like a charm, would be cool to have another tool to make lakes
Semilocon Nov 15, 2014 @ 11:45am 
How do I use it? There's no new option.
Spacecowboy2011 Nov 15, 2014 @ 9:39am 
I like the basic concept of the mod, and have tried it out, the only qualm I have is that it is set to a specific height, no matter what. Makes for some... interesting results when using it. I know nothing about modding, so I won't say 'Why do this/that' et cetera, but does the coding permit more of a smoothing of terrain instead? That way you don't end up with square pits where this tool has been used.

Still useful though, and kudos for making it.

Took me a while to figure out how to use this one. I kept waiting for Builders to come and "work" the marked tiles. (The squares I wanted to flatten were visually already flat, but for some reason lighting up red.) Now I know how it works, and it definitely helps my OCD style of play.
