Terraforming and how to understand it

Terraforming: Why you need it and why you should understand it.

Ok so to start, Terraforming is the art of altering the landscape around you. Terraforming in Life Is Feudal is quite straight forward: you can raise and lower the height of the land you claim. On this land you can place structures, defences and objects that emit light and/or create items.

First step: Unless you have set terraforming in the character creation screen before entering a server to 60, then you are going to want to level your terraforming to 30. Normal players will want this to 60 because at level 30 you can flatten land, but at level 60 you can create tunnels, but we aren't making a tunnel in this tutorial.

Second step: Find an area you want to start a settlement/Fortress. Now right click the ground, select Terraforming and select Observe: you will now have the ability to view the levels of each terrain tile. Numbers will sometimes be wholesuch as level "18" etc and some will have a decimal point such as "17.9". My Recommendation: Use Whole numbers, as this will give an easier marker to work to.

Third step: Once you have found your area and a good level to work to, STAND IN THE TILE YOU WANT THE REST OF YOUR TILES TO BE TERRAFORMED TO (See Video At The Top). This is known (To me) is the golden tile, as it starts off your flat land. Right click the tile adjacent to the tile you are standing in, select Terrafomring and "Flatten land", you will either pickup or drop 30 units of dirt (0.1 levels) onto the area you want to level out. Once you have flattened the tile, stand in it and continue the process of flattening the land.

Why you need Terraforming and why you should understand it: Terraforming is needed for one sole purpose, building. Structures require flat land to be built on, they do this by showing a nice GREEN outline on your tiles. Now, it is important to understand because you can flatten land but you can also create inclines and declines that are also flat: on the you can build Stone walls/pallisades/Castle Walls. The walls will be angled in the direct of the incline.
