Building on hills
Set how buildings sit on the land.
Ground (Carve | On top) sets how buildings sit on the land. It is at the bottom of the Build catalog. It only changes buildings you make next; buildings you already made keep the setting they started with.
Carve or On top
- Carve: Digs a flat shelf into the land for the building to sit on. Moving the building fills the old shelf back in and digs a new shelf where it goes.
- On top: Does not dig. Each wall piece gets its own footing that reaches straight down to the land.
Sloped connectors
When wall pieces next to each other sit at different heights, a sloped piece joins their tops so the wall line stays unbroken. The footings step to match the land.
Floors on a slope
Carve gives the whole building one floor height. On top sets the floor height square by square. To make buildings that step down a hill, place separate buildings on different cliff levels. Turning on Foundation in the building’s Base section puts one flat slab under the whole building, in place of the separate footings.
