Instant and Exact Terraforming

• []Level ground is the stock tool: place it as usual, and villagers no longer have to work every tile.[/]

  []Aggressive terraform is a new entry next to it in the build menu. Place it where you want a flat building plot; its edges blend into the ground around it.[/]

  []Path maker and Road planner lay paths right up to the water's edge instead of stopping half a metre above it.[/]

Level ground and aggressive terraform take plots of up to 255 tiles instead of the stock 25, and the height difference inside a plot is no longer limited.

Installation

Install BepInEx and ASKA Mod Core first (both are listed under Requirements), then install this mod with Vortex, or unpack the archive into the ASKA folder so the files land in BepInEx/plugins/AskaTerraforming/.

Linux / Steam Deck: add this to ASKA's launch options in Steam (Windows doesn't need it):

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%

Change them in the game: Settings, the Mods tab, then Apply; the tab follows the game's language. They are stored in BepInEx/config/ArcheeNic. AskaMods.ini. You can also edit BepInEx/plugins/AskaTerraforming/aska_mod.ini, but only while the game is running: with the game closed, the stored value wins.

What it does

instant_terraform

Level ground finishes by itself

exact_terraform

The aggressive terraform entry in the build menu

exact_terraform_height

auto keeps the plot's own reference height; a number sets a fixed world height

exact_terraform_blend

Width of the smooth edge around the plot, metres

terraform_max_tiles

Largest plot in tiles; the mod never goes above what the game can hold

terraform_max_height_diff

Height difference allowed when placing a plot; 0 keeps the game's own limit

terraform_max_range

Placement range; 0 keeps the game's own value

path_water_offset

How high above the water a path or road point must be, metres; off keeps the game's 0. 5

terraform_capacity

Measured in your world and written by the mod; leave it as it is

Good to know

• []With Vegetation Regrowth and Trampling, grass starts growing back only after an aggressive terraform has finished.[/]

  []Tested in single player; co-op hasn't been tested yet.[/]

  AI was used to write the code quickly. I designed the mod, thought through how it should behave and put real care into it, so this is not a mod made by AI alone: the AI was the tool that carried out the work and took the routine off my hands.
