I am wanting a lake and a river in my park, but I can't do it because of the annoying terrain editing tools, I wish there was an option to have the terrain editing tools like those in RCT3 because it would make what I'm trying to do a lot easier for me. Can't you put a checkbox in the settings menu - something like terrain editing tools like RCT3 and a checkbox next to it so that players can either tick it or not!
Terrain editing really hard...

What terrain option or options are you using?
I use the "Push" option to make a hole in the ground then I use "Flatten to Foundation" to make the entire lake at the same depth as the hole I make. It's a quick easy way to make lakes. That option was available in RCT3 as well.

OK, but what about rivers? That is near impossible!
Theres many guides on terrain in the 'How Do I..." section btw, as for Frontier improving the current terrain tools, well it probably wont happen unfortunately

Thing with me is though, I don't have a steady hand, so I could use someone who DOES have a very steady hand to help me!
