Extend design map tools
Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2016 7:58 pm
I've been playing around with customizing design maps and I think that map layer would benefit a lot from having a two tools that already exist in the heightmap layer:
Raise to
Lower to
I believe these could be a major timesaver when you want to make shallow shorelines or just wish to raise / lower things below or above a certain altitude. If you want big mountains in an island environment, it usually means you end up with a very deep seabed which is not always desirable. I'm aware you could raise it all in the heightmap layer but doing it before generation means you still get the randomization of your parameters.
