automatic terrain generator - darob - Jul 21, 2007
I wanted to know If there was some type of automatic terrain generator like they have in Sim City. Maybe some addon or downloadable. Something where you can set the type of ground, how many mountains/hills you want. And If there isn't something like that. Maybe something that populates the whole map with overgrowth. Instead of placing every single tree individually. Very time consuming. If there is any of those things let me know please. Thanks.

There is no auto terrain generator for this game, although it would be a nice addition to RCT4. On the subject of the trees, you can save a group of trees as a custom structure. Fill a square, for example 6x6, with trees and various bushes and then save it as a custom structure. Load from the custom structure menu and you have a group of trees that you can place over and over again. One point to think about, if you don't use instant wood/jungle for this group, you wont be able to overlap them because of the collision detection.

What you say Darob would make perfect sense, and save alot of time, but i guess the bods at Atari never thought of that, i'm surprised it wasnt included with either Soaked or Wild

Me either but it would be an awesome addition to RCT4...even better would be, to have different maps with different stuff (like one map is forest themed with a lot of trees) instead of just nothing but grass like on RCT3.
RE: automatic terrain generator - Zippy24 - Apr 13, 2008
Why not just add trees?
RE: automatic terrain generator - chevelleROCKER_18B - Apr 13, 2008
Because if they make rct4 like rct3 then i would be too time consuming....so it would be easier to just have a selection of maps to pick from ranging for forest to iceland to plain. you know?
RE: automatic terrain generator - Zippy24 - Apr 13, 2008
I think it would be better if you could just select a area and click add trees and it fills the area with trees.
RE: automatic terrain generator - chevelleROCKER_18B - Apr 13, 2008
Yeah and still that could be a little time consuming BUT it would be nice if they had both of the extensions.
