Valley: Blocks 5-3-x and 5-4-x

[sayotoshi]

Hi,

Maybe this is stupid problem, but I wryly don't know how to place those blocks on map. When I take any of those blocks and trying to place on map, they are lighted in red, even if I trying to place it on empty map. How to use them???

I was confused a bit too, but it's simply a matter of color-matching.

Place a couple of 5-1-8 blocks (green on one side, orange on other side), and then use the 5-3-x and 5-4-x to connect between the orange sides.

You need to use the terraforming block 6 (this is some kind of forest or swamp, it has "OVERLAY" on it) before on a larger area.

Here it is:

Hint: Use CTRL key and left mouse button click to "pick" the current block under the cursor. Then you know which block it is

I wryly don't understand. If you don't know answer why you telling this kind of things?????? Your solution is not working, I was trying this at first place before I was posting here.


Big, big thanks TMarc

Hey,

I've got a question regarded to the dirt-blocks as well, but I don't want to create a new whole topic, so here it is:

If you create a new block ( e.g. 5-4-3 ) that reaches a new level, you can't create any block which can be build on the new level. You even can't create a normal, simple road ( 5-3-1) on the new level. You are forced to take a block that goes down, to the lower normal level.

Is that intended?

[TMarc]

Sure you can do that You can use mountain type 1 (small soft hill) to climb as high as the game permits

Place a hill, then place overlay forest on top of it, then combine both forest regions to make a contiguous band of forest, as shown here:



Then you can place the blocks on the slopes, e.g. 5-4-1, or block space before the slope you can place 5-5-3. 5-4-4, and fill the gap with 5-4-1 (it changes its aspect then).



Hint: the "underground view" helps to see the different levels better:


And here a view back from the last checkpoint, after a slope with 5-4-1:


Track updated (and validated, so you can just drive it)

Because I was able to place the blocks in question by doing what I said in my first response. My apologies if it didn't work for you.
