Shift + click + dig on snowfall should auto-dig

Post by Dakkan »

Similar to digging ball clay or destroying vines, shift + click + dig should automatically dig the snowcover and move on to the next adjacent snowcovered tile. Trying to do some landscaping and this would at least remove the repetitious clicking.

Very much this, please.

Trying to do some major landscaping and having to manually click every tile on the field to clear it of snow before being permitted to use a survey is tedious

That's just too good to be implemented. We're not allowed to have nice things

I think it would be better to specify a rectangular area to be cleared, like when plowing (, harvesting, mining), than to have random digging around like clay.

Shift+Click to clear snow

Please let us shift+click to clear snow just like it's with digging clay. Would be very convenient. Thanks.

This is very much needed, even if I was willing to click each snow tile individually, I'd eventually miss-click and dig up a massive hole in the ground with my metal shovel.
