WATER tool is better than smooth tool. other building tips.

Just wanna share my experience.

For those who are having trouble with smoothing or levelling the ground as I myself am not good at it. i tried using the water tool and found out it is much efficient in flattening the surface than the real flatten tool haha.

smooth results in raising the ground more than flattening it especially if its like bumpy. smooth is good for those corners especially around buildings and in giving you that nice slope feel in an enclosure.

Lower ground and flatten are useful if the angle isn't to high, you can control the ground much efficient like when building on tight corners.

and lastly if when you pop a building and you notice that the edges are sharp, just demolish it and flatten / lower the ground then smooth. then build the structure again. it should be levelled (most of the times) haha

the only problem is seem to have now is the fences + paths, especially if your after that 1mm of space to be correct... so if anyone has tips that would be awesome

cheers guys! enjoy!

Smooth isn't for flattening ground, its for rounding out edges in the terrain. Flatten will only work to a certain point. If you want to raise/lower the terrain any more you'll need to manually raise/lower it with the tool then flatten it again.

flatten isn't as good as it sounds haha it'll either raise everything to the same level or lowered it. better to ride a ranger jeep and see it from ground view. top view is very deceiving hehe

I did figure out how flatten works. You pick an area of land that is at the level you want and hold the button down. As long as it's held down and you don't go out of bounds, every area you go over will be flattened to the level of that initial area.

In other words, raise or lower a small area and use flatten to bring everything to that height.
