Roads as terrain

[laughingowl]

Not sure if it is possible, but reading since I have joined, with geomancers a lot of the base systems might be tweaked.

If so I would really like to see ‘Roads’ be changed to a type of terrain.

1. (and to me this would be one of the more important). It is vary annoying to have the ‘roads’ stay visible when using the slice tool to delve into a mountain.

2. If a terrain, then a single section could be changed/removed, rather then having to do the entire section.

As a related note:

I would love to see a ‘slab tool’ style editor but that edited the terrain, NOT a ‘building’. While ‘gameplay’ wise most of this would probably be covered by the geomancer, it seems the system would have to exist (thus possibly a debug tool) before the geomancer could do it Secondly it seems SOME ability should be available outside of the geomancer. I.E. allow workers to ‘fill’ a whole with dirt.

Crafting Generic Building Chunks for Faster Construction

I recently decided to try to do a big build and it just takes too long. I really think things like pillars, floors, roof tiles, and walls could be an actual item that you must use the carpenter to craft so that they can be placed much faster. instead of placing the 102 blocks for a max length section of wall you could have it crafted by the carpenter for the discounted building cost of 2 blocks of wood (could adjust based on difficulty level, I would suggest 21 for hard mode). I imagine it does…

Construction Pallets

I would love to see some way of creating a pallet or chest that could contain construction materials for building projects. I’d imagine it would work something like a mixture between a chest and a material pile, where the carpenter would build it, you would place it on the ground next to your storage area, then you would select what material it would contain (wood, stone, clay bricks). The hearthlings would then fill it to capacity. Once full, hearthlings would no longer add to the pallet, and …
