Terraforming
Description
- Terraforming skill is used to shape the land, usually in preparation for Architecture projects. You can raise, lower, level and clear the groundsurface. You can also build roads. Just like architecture however, terraforming may only be performed within your own tribal area.
The higher your terraforming skill is the less energy you exert while performing any terrain modifications. You can use terraforming to build up the land in order to make multi storey buildings.
Usage
- To terraform, equip a shovel made by weaponcraft in your right hand via the Inventory Panel. Right click the terraforming action in the Actions Panel or on your Hotbar to open the Terrain Panel (See Picture Below) to begin.
You will need to right click one of the terrain options, to raise the land you will require dirt in your inventory, and to lower the land you will recieve dirt from digging down. You can not destroy dirt, so will need to store it somewhere but it is a valuable trade commodity.
Leveling the land does not require or give dirt, but averages the spot you are standing on, with the surrounding tiles. For example, leveled land tends to snap to the nearest .10, to get the land you are standing on to snap to this height, you will need to adjust the spot where you are standing depending on whether you need to pull the terrain up or down. To make it go up, you will need to stand where the height is above .05, to make it go down, you need to stand at a height of below .05.
You can also "level up" or "level down", which takes the terrain you're standing on to the highest or lowest point, respectively. When leveling down, you'll generate one dirt, but when you level up you will need one dirt. A certain amount of skill may be required for steeper slopes.
The terrain panel also displays information about your current co-ordinates so you can use the height co-ordinate to aid you in adjusting the terrain to the required height.
Terraforming is a support skill for Architecture, as the ground needs to be reasonably level to create a building project.
The Primary Attribute and Secondary Attribute for terraforming are fortitude and strength.
