Land Surveys

[Shyruban]

Is there a way to do the digging so it will level everything with where the flag is planted instead of doing an average?
If you just dig a square of land it's no problem, but i'm digging a large trench around my place, outside of my roundpole fences, where my palisade will be
trench is 5 tiles wide and quite long, I find it very hard to make all of it level using survey doing average, it fixes one part and the messes up another.
Maybe there are commands for it?

Also how flat does it have to be for palisade? Can it have a bit of a slope?
Thanx.

Green dots on survey level is equal to what's already there. Pink is dig this spot blue is fill. Survey only one already dug level and lower till that spot is green. Also pick up dirt or it will auto fill up again to be level with surrounding area even if in pile. I think it has to be like five tiles away not 100% sure.

Palisade can be built on a pretty slopey surface, but not too high of an incline. Best bet is to experiment with roundpole fences first as they use the same rules as palisades when it comes to slopes.

I think 0.5m is maximum difference.

You can also try extending one tile at a time, for some reason extending too far over steep inclines causes the wall to align with the highest tile which then prevents you from building it.

This has been my experience, too, Kaios. The algorithm looks at the incline over the whole extension being added, not at the incline per tile. Even going 2-4 tiles at a time can produce a result when going a full 10 can't.

Ok thanx, yeah redoing another survey and just going a couple tiles over seems to work.

I know its pretty straightforward, using the survey tool i just have one question. Can you expand the working area to more than one tile. I would love to be able to level a 10x10 area all at once. If you can i sure cant find the button or hotkey to do it.

Just hold the left mouse button and hover over desired area.

With the survey tool ofc

This should help you. You can level/raise larger areas then just a one square.
