Raising ground level over water ?

Post by kiro51 »

Hi

Is it possible to make artificial islands by putting a lot of dirt in water ? I've seen a perfectly square island, but maybe that's just a map generation bug :/

Thanks

He lies.

There is no way to create islands or even shallow water in the current game. Though it has been brought up before.

Those square islands are just random.

How about you post before and after picks showing where you've done it.

You can't do it in a boat dumbass, cause the game will mess up if you're riding in a boat when it switches to land, you have to do it while swimming, and it has to be done fast, you can't wait like 5 minutes and come back, so get like 4 friends loaded with tsacks each carrying 50 soil and go on the same tlle (IMPORTANT!!!) and take turns dropping the soil.

This is the part where he posts a video of him actually doing it, and we are shocked into permanent awe.

Make sure you first equip all your high Q gear and put in your bag all your highest Q ore bars, because you need the weight to bring you down to underwater ground to actually plant the soil. Else it will not work.
