Snow shouldn't block landscaping

Postby Mr_Bober » Thu Jan 01, 2026 2:37 pm

Winter would be a great time to do terraforming projects, but snow makes it very annoying.

Problem
- Ground covered in snow blocks landscaping.
- Snow can be manually removed, but will reappear.
- Snow-melting items, like moundbeds or fires, are immovable objects that still partially prevent you from terraforming.

Solution
- Snow should be ignored when using a survey flag. It should disappear like grass does, or the ground level changes shouldn't touch the snow cover. Either solution is fine.

+1000 this is just one of many things that make winter fucking shit quitfuel

but also remove winter, enough bandaids. Jotumheim shoulda been the winter continent (or maybe just the far north of it)

Active Compost bin's can be used as moveable fire alternative to keep the snow at bay. (ie: dev's probably not going to fix the terraforming blocking character of snow any time soon.)
