Best Settings for Terrain Tool Alignment Guide

This setting changes how the Terrain Tool behaves when shaping the ground, letting you match the planet’s curvature instead of carving a purely straight profile. It is useful whenever you want tunnels, ramps, or excavations to follow the natural shape of a world.

Alignment Mod

The Alignment Mod attaches to the Terrain Tool and activates curvature-based terrain deformation.

Effect

• Aligns terrain deformation to the curvature of the planet.

Power use

• Draws 0.5U/s while active.

Use case

• Best for shaping terrain in a way that follows the planet’s surface more naturally.
• Helpful for smoothing excavation and building cleaner, planet-hugging structures with the Terrain Tool.
