I tend to spend most of my time in sandbox mode, messing around and trying to make different environments, which has lead to me thinking that the landscaping brushes and tools could really use some improvements, especially as we have several large islands now that can take a long time to edit.
- Give us some bigger radius options for the brushes - this would make putting down foliage/removing editing water/land etc. on large sites much faster.
- In sandbox mode (& possibly elsewhere?), give us the option to remove all vegetation in one go rather than manually erasing it; this would make getting a blank slate that you can edit freely so much simpler.
- Increase the height that we can raise & lower the land to. At the moment all I can really make are mounds, when I actually would like big hills and deep valleys.
- Add some foliage brushes that are era-accurate, i.e. no grass, lots of low level ferns/some cycads etc. Maybe a Triassic/Jurassic/Cretaceous brush set?
- On the subject of adding brushes, add in things like deep/wet mud, mossy ground, cracked/desert ground etc.
- Make it so that water can flow downhill rather than having to be on a flat surface to allow for more convincing rivers. Might not be possible physics wise tbh, but it would be really nice and would make enclosures more dynamic.
- On a similar note, maybe add in a mist brush? Would add shed loads of atmosphere to make it all foggy.
