Editing in Fractal Terrains

dutch206 · July 2008

I am trying to edit a map I created in Fractal Terrains. There is one area of the map I am interested in developing as a campaign area. However, two rivers in the region have been stopped by small lakes. I want to erase the lakes and recalculate the rivers so that they flow into the sea properly.

I have read the directions, and they basically amount to "Simply refill the basin and recalculate river flow". This tells me nothing. Can you please give me directions so simple even I can follow them?

One of the tools in FT allows you to raise the terrain where your lakes are. After that recalculating the rivers should yield the desired result. Another option is to keep the lakes and add the rivers in CC3 manually.

I'll look again. Last time, the tool I used turned the ground black.

Thank you. The edit looks so natural, you can't even tell I did it!
