1.7 Plateau Tool

The Plateau Tool allows creating plateaus in a certain height.

The Plateau Tool can be found here:

If you click it, the usual Brush Properties and a window called “Plateau Properties” should open:

Applying changes with this tool works the same way as with all other brushes, too.

Changing the radius will change the size of the area in which the Plateau Tool will work.

Changing the strength will change the extremity with which the plateau will be formed

Changing the speed will not influence this tool.

Changing the height will result in highter / lower plateaus or even holes.

To apply any changes with this tool, you need to hover it over the map and hold left click down until your plateau is as you want it to.

  • Plateaus can be created using a radius, strength, speed and height > 0
  • Holes can be created by using a radius, strength and speed > 0 and a height < 0
  • Even Craters can be created using a radius, speed and height > 0 and a strength < 0
  • Inverted Even Craters can be created using a radius and speed > 0 and a strength and height < 0

1.8 Raise Plateau Tool

The Raise Plateau Tool works the same as the Plateau Tool, just that it will orient it’s hight on the hight of the ground over which the user hovers the mouse which enables creating multistage plateaus:

It can be found here:

1.9 Copy Terrain Tool

The Copy Terrain Tool allows copying terrain in a certain area that can be set using the mouse.

It can be found here:

To copy a terrain, you need to select the copy terrain tool and hover the terrain you want to copy by your mouse. The mouse should turn into a line field as shown in the picture above.

When you press ctrl + c the field will form itself to the terrain that is currently hovered. If you keep ctrl + c pressed and move the mouse it will automatically change and form itself to the new hovered terrain.

If you release ctrl + c again, the field will keep it’s form and will remember it.

To paste the copied terrain, hover where you want to paste the copied terrain and either press ctrl + v or left click there.

1.10 Ramp Tool

The Ramp Tool can be used to create ramps and connections between highter places and lower places:

It can be found here:

A window called “Ramp Properties” that looks like this should open on the right:

To apply changes with this tool, you need to select it and left click at one point where you want your ramp to begin and drag the mouse while holding the left mousebutton down to the place where the ramp should end.

You also can change the width of the ramp by either changing the corresponding propertie in the Ramp Properties window or by holding ctrl pressed after connecting two points (end and begin point) while still holding left mouse button down so that the ramp does not yet get created. If you do that you can change the width by moving the mouse up / down:

Note: This tool only works if the heigth between begin and endpoint is different. You can not create a ramp in the middle of nowhere in an even area without “cheating” by making a highter point to connect to first and afterwards remove it again.
