TidyTerrain

Tidy Terrain

Level ground with the Hoe and leave no mess behind.

What it does

When you finish a Terrain Level Field or a building floor plan, Tidy Terrain puts everything on it back onto the new ground, so nothing is left buried or floating.

• Trees, stones, bushes and dropped items land on the new ground height.
• Boulders, the big rocks only an explosive sack can shift, are set half-buried in the new ground, or blown up. Your choice, per rock type.
• Forage survives. Bushes, berries and mushrooms that leveling would wipe out are kept and set on the new ground. Opt out per type.
• Buildings next to the leveled ground move up or down to meet it. Buildings standing on another building are left alone.
• Ground that is already level counts as done, so you only hoe the cells that need it. Villagers skip those cells too.
• Caves are left alone. Leveling above a cave never pulls its contents up.

What's New

• Ground that is already at the target height now counts as done, so you only hoe the cells that need it.
• Objects are set on the new ground once, when a field is finished, instead of after every hoe stroke, so they no longer jump while you work.
• Estimated overall: the mod uses about 90% less CPU time per leveling job than in 1.3.3. This is an estimate, not a measurement.

Configuration

Settings live in BepInEx\config\mugsy33.tidyterrain.cfg.

| Setting | Default | What it does |

|---|---|---|

| Enabled | true | Turns the whole mod on or off. |

| ResnapStructures | true | Moves buildings onto the new ground height. |

| AutoCompleteLevelCells | true | Counts cells that are already level as done without hoeing. |

| [TidyTerrain.Boulders] | Resnap | One entry per rock type: Resnap sets it half-buried, Destroy blows it up. |

| [TidyTerrain.Retention] | true | One entry per forage type: true keeps it through leveling. |

The per-type Boulders and Retention entries appear after you load a world once.

Known issues

• Trees and stones can take a few seconds to redraw in their new spot.
• Objects on a field you leave unfinished stay where they are until it is finished.
• Leveling roads does not move objects; only Terrain Level Fields and floor plans do.

Notes

• Everything the mod moves stays moved after you save and reload.
• Tested in single-player. In multiplayer, install it on the host; multiplayer is not yet tested.
