That leveling block strat is very something i'll keep in mind Always wanted a tru flat place in adventure mode

[@KuyaGameAstroneer]

I can testify that as you start practicing, it gets easier and easier 😊🚀

[@illusiveelk2558]

It'd be really nice if we could increase or decrease the size of the terrain manipulator within the thresholds of the respective mods of their functionality. That way, you could have both a narrow and wide mod equipped at the same time and to be able to take full advantage of both of them in adventure mode.

[@KuyaGameAstroneer]

True, it would be better than having to swap them all the time and give more flexibility

[@earflapphat]

What a fun collab! Two of my favourite Astroneer creators! Great video! 👍

[@KuyaGameAstroneer]

Thanks for hanging with us 😊

[@tanner2105]

It seems so simple here but in game jeez, they really need to make something that makes it that you can make a nice flat area anywhere. I am going insane ;c

[@KuyaGameAstroneer]

I was struggling too, but I'm putting some more effort into this lately... Another tip is remember that the terrain tool is going to pave exactly from the polygon it's point at. So if we point at a polygon that's not perfectly flat, we will expand soil that is going to be just as slanted as the starting point

[@aphemorpha]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. my perfectionism knows no bounds and me and my friends are starting a new adventure playthrough and i was going to cry if i had to rely on the flatten tool again.

True flat robot secret techniques 😊

[@Oscarizxc]

This game needs the ability to print 1. Base Foundations - a 1x1 block (like the leveling block) with locking features that snaps to the ground. 2. Building Blocks - a wide selection of 1x1, 1x2, 2x4, triangular, rounded blocks that has tier 1 sockets, that can snap to each other. 3. Plate Blocks - blocks of various sizes that can cap off tier 1 sockets. 4. Palette Table - A table with 10 customisable colour palettes (based on surfaces already in game) that can be cycled and stored as preset. While using the terrain tool is fine (with some skill and creativity), having players in multiplayers accidentally adjusting terrain is :|

[@KuyaGameAstroneer]

That'd be great actually

[@samuel6438]

What’s the difference between starting to flat the surface from the starting point, and somewhere that is extended from the starting point? Aren’t them supposed to be leveled to each other? Will I get a true flat if I don’t always start from “the starting point?” Can I make a starter point that is extended from another starting point?

[@KuyaGameAstroneer]

If you want to get true flat, you should always start from soil generated with a leveling block. If you expand it accurately, it will be true flat (perpendicular to the center of the planet from the starting point). But be careful because when you stretch it our, it takes a few seconds to get to the same level. so at the borders it may not have the same angle if you are not careful

[@taylormay9938]

@@KuyaGameAstroneer this doesn't address his question though... Why would the flatten tool act differently from the original starting point versus a flat spot that was created using the original starting point?

[@sparktite]

Hey guys, sorta new player here. Love the video. Ive watched it probably like 5 times already because how inconsistent and confusing the terraforming is in this game. Did you guys point out that the alignment mod actually will create a level surface initially that for the most part cant curve with the planet? I found that the alignment mod is only not completely useless because without it wed essentially have nothing else lol. For example if you were to take the alignment tool and walk in any direction while using the tool to level out the floor, you will see that it will still ramp into the air, similarly to how it works without any alignment mod on at all. Ive also found that even if you can get the angle you want for a surface, that as you spread out regardless of what you use on the terraforming tool you will inevitablly get spots that arent consistent with the angle youve been working on. Eventually as you go in one direction flatening things out, if you turn back around and come back your angle will have changed & it wont meet up w the original location. The closest i have ever been able to get to having one true flat plane was by using the leveling tool near one of the planets like purple spires. However, even then the spot wasnt actually level, sure it was tuely flat, but i would have had to go dig for hundreds of feet before reaching a point where it would be technically level. At the moment it just looks like a giant shallow ramp. However even with all that work, i found it is still next to impossible to get a consistently flat plane to work with. It feels almost like they intentionally made the game impopssibly hard to terraform in. My dream of making a beautiful and immersive base to work out of and get automation going all around me i think might be pretty dead. I was even looking at if there were ways to solve my issues via mods, but sadly its all scripting via cheat engine, and i can tell thats just not gonna be ideal at all.

[@acatisfinetoo6921]

ok but how you apply this true flat to your base without moving everything to a ruin?

So it only possible right near the gate hah. Gotta learn to accept the imperfect then cause that still hard.

[@communist2479]

Do you mean by using the leveling block? You can put it anywhere, but only if you place it next to a gate the block will be perfectly perpendicular to the planet

[@taylormay9938]

@@KuyaGameAstroneer He means extending that 45 degree angle with the flattening tool if you are not near a gate. If possible, I think this would work as another way of getting a true flat, but only if you are exactly halfway between two gates, correct?

@@taylormay9938 yeah but im not sure what would happen if your at the corner of that invisible cube,

[@KuyaGameAstroneer]

@@taylormay9938 the only way to get true flat is by using a cube, any other angle could be "any" random angle.
