Flat Stockpile

A clone of the regular Stock Pile, but it can be placed anywhere, and be much larger (1x1 to 256x256). Serves mainly as an alternative to Flatten Terrain Tool.


THERE IS NO UNDO. Save your town before flattening a mountain or clogging a river.


It's a new tool, separate from the vanilla Stock Pile; so it's not affected by my No Auto Flatten mod.

It can be found in the Storage toolbar, right after Stock Pile (or after Specialized Stockpiles, if you have that mod).


- It's a new item so it shouldn't conflict with anything.

- For modders: It's in the 'storage' toolbar, with a '_sortPriority' of 270.

- Pairs well with my No Auto Flatten mod, for a bit of controlled terrain manipulation when you need it, and only when you need it.


It irked me that the Flatten Terrain Tool mod wasn't uploaded to the Workshop by its actual author, so I wanted to at least provide an alternative. Besides, a Stockpile has certain advantages:

- It absorbs resources as your workers collect them; no need to carry resources somewhere else until you're ready to remove the Flat Stockpile.

- The footprint / texture of a Stock Pile makes it very obvious when the flattening work is actually done. It also makes it obvious that you need to 'remove the building' to build something else there.


I wanted to make it a 'temporary' storage that absorbs the resources collected from its area but doesn't accept any further input, but couldn't find a way to do that without breaking it. Oh well.
