Description
Allows to change terrain surface



Are you tired of endless list of filler assets cluttering your parks panel and exhausting your buildings limit? Then this mod is for you!

This is a plugin for my Extra Lanscaping Tools mod that allows to paint terrain with standard decorative types of surface (pavement, gravel, field, ruining). Note that this mod doesn't provide any custom textures. And it won't provide any custom textures/surfaces because it's not possible. It simply tells the game to render pavement, fields etc. in painted areas.

Make sure that both Extra Landscaping Tools and Surface Painter are enabled in Content Manager before complaining. Also, this mod requires the latest version of Extra Lanscaping Tools to function so you can try re-verify local game cache if nothing else helps.

Tool is available through 'Surface Tool' button on main toolbar. Use left mouse button to paint and right mouse button to erase.

This mod also provides 'no override' mode (press Shift key while painting). With that mode surface tool becomes aware of surface under buildings, trees and roads and doesn't override surface in such places.

This mod can be safely disabled at any time. But painted surface will return to stock appearance if you disable this mod.

Known conflicts:
- Find It!'s 'Enhance all panels' feature makes this mod's surface selection panel blank. You don't have to turn off the entire Find It! to make it compatible with this mod and Extra Landscaping Tools. Just go to Find It!'s options and disable 'Enhance all menus' option there.

Planned features:
- Brush rotation mod integration (to be implemented in Extra Lanscaping Tools)
- Surface painting in Map Editor

Latest update:
UPDATE 5 (3/22/2023)
Fixed: Added 81 Tiles 2 compatibility

@Ileen D. Sun

In short, this mod repaints the ground with 5 different types of terrain colors. There are two types of grass, a gravel, a sand and a concrete (so to speak) option(s), with a removal option as well.


Happy city building everyone! :steamthumbsup::steamhappy:

@1942ertan - Use this mod to paint forests - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2869784351

hello, can we add some texture, for example forest?
Vorkesh 4 Jul @ 2:43pm 
great mod for adding those fine details:steamthumbsup:

For that annoying bloppy concrete pie shaped gaps I use these, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3170176397

The concrete set has a 1 x 4 version that I bet was made just for that. It will not overlap the building either. Now my buildings on curved roads have a nice consistent concrete that I can then add fences or hedgerows! Sweeeet!

First, I want to complain.
I always was avoiding to build curved roads, because if the road is curved, buildings won't stay tightly to each other, and there will be ugly gaps between that. I have decided that I've got enough of that, and I need to find a way to fill these gaps with pavement texture.
That's it. Such a simple problem. But it seemed to be impossible to solve! I tried to build airport aprons, but zoned buildings won't build over aprons. I tried one mod and found out it's deprecated. I tried another mod and found out it doesn't work (decals are just invisible). I tried one more mod and found out that it is cannot work properly with even small slopes, and besides it is overcomplicated and made not for humans but for programmers...
And now I'm outraged that wise advisors from Reddit didn't mention it at all, preferring to mention garbage mods instead.
Now the positive part.
Creator, you resolved my problem without any headache. You're my savior. I freaking love you <3

Works fine for me

Not sure if it matters if you get and enable Extra Landscaping Tools for it to work but I did

What wasn't seeming to work though is placing trees so I disabled both for now

Doesnt work anymore man

it works as intended for me. sometimes cities skylines doesn't load the mods properly, unsubscribing and resubscribing works for me
