Paths on slopes

[Dae]

I managed quite easily to do a nice slope with the stamp tools, but I want to put a path on it and I can't find a way to do it, I always get the error "terrain too uneven". My slope is as even as possible...

Any idea on how to do it?

I had this problem too.

Is Flatten Terrain enabled?

 

[Dae]

nope but I tried enabled and disabled, no way to put a path beyond that point

 

[LN]

In that case the path doesn't fit on the slope.

Try widening the slope for the time being and place the path, then afterwards remove the terrain.

 

[wowman]

could be that the slope is also too steep.

I don't know if there's a better way, but I generally build the pathway at an incline first, then I build up the terrain underneath it.

Can you start from the top and come down at all ? Have you tried removing the last bit of path and giving it a bit of smoothing in case there is a slight ridge. Also hold CTRL and move the path up and down the slope to see if it will go in anywhere else, this will stop it snapping to the last bit placed.

I would also try it on width 4 anywhere if it isn't set to this anyway.

The problem with doing that is that the terrain do not fill well around the path

could be that the slope is also too steep.

I used the minimum set angle (15%). I want to create 3 identical slopes, and I can't do it if I can't check the angle of the slope... and there's no way to know which angle I used with the free rotation...

The top doesn't exist yet, it will depend on which height I get with the slope, I'm not sure if doing it backward will help. I'll try the ctrl next time, but each time I used that trick in another situation I couldn't make the new path snap on the old one...

Did you try adding more terrain to the sides so it’s a wider gap between the path and edges?

 

[Dae]

yes I did try that but it didn't change anything

 

[cerealfruitcakes]

Yeah that's frustrating. It's probably because it's too steep then. I would just change the steep grade,

You probably wanted it steeper but sadly it seems like it's very picky on how steep you can make a path on a slope.

 

[Dae]

Well yes I'll probably have to do that, but why is the first set angle at 15%? It should be less if it's too much to build a path on it...

Anyway thanks for all the suggestions

What's a bit frustrating is that Planet Coaster's paths can handle steeper grades than this. They seem to have limited it more for PZoo.
