Or micro TP module. Same short distance (jump) result. Different concept without new graphics or 2/3D issue. That and list of about 10 new bots. Holding my breath.

But still change terraforming

At the moment terraforming is a pain.
Please change terraforming drastically in the following ways:
- Give feedback as soon as no more change can be performed with the current charge due to steepness rules
- Give this feedback during terraform plan creation or way better don't allow to set up a terraform plan that violates the rules.

Additionally I woul like the following
- allow more steepness for some limited area, else the islands will flat out on long term. I don't like to have walls, but I like to see some small cliffs and more just to avoid having on long term islands than are complete flat.
- allow to "Memorise" a given terrain and restore it later on (even if this violates rules).

Is not only for balancing reasons, there was an aesthetic concerns as well according to the Devs. Those walls of soil didn't look very pleasing to the eye , I must admit.

Anyhow I liked the idea of balancing gamma by adding more tools to the game to accomplish the same balance, but I guess it's too late now.

Most locations require you to terraform before you can set terminal on ground.

Surely there are a handful of creative exceptions that can be made to Terraforming Mechanics for this problem.

Example idea: Prior to any terraforming or putting down any terminal designate an "Anchor" spot. Once designated you can terraform that location freely as if there is an existing Terminal. Balance to avoid exploitation, like not being able to place any other terminal until this one is placed.

Generally I like the idea of 3k limit around terminal for terraforming (or some other reasonable radius). We should be able to freely roam Gamma without being locked out by OP terraforming.

Really the only thing I did not like about terraforming was that you could do it ANYWHERE on the island. Just lease that *** in so island access is always possible and leave it creative for both offense and defense.

--------------

Devs you have so much creative leeway in design of your islands. You can create zones where terraforming is possible and not possible. People can build bases or not or place 3 or 6 terminals as long as it's within the zones. Perhaps Ore and NPCs don't spawn in those zones so you have to go out.

Make it CREATIVE and ACCESSIBLE.

Good luck.

Just give them real walls and gates and *** terraforming

You would have to find some way of having minerals not spawn in unpassable territory to do any of that. There is something fun about having to terraform your mineral field down so you can access it. I would hate to remove that feature. But again I want a mining tower to be needed at any mineral field you mine, not just colixium.

All that being said, I vote for the exact opposite of everything Rage Rex says....
