Terraforming ideas!

[SheepMareep]

I am in LOVE with all of the terraforming features. However! I am wondering how tall we can make our islands. Can there be a large mountain with a water fall by building up layers then adding water? I think it would be so cool to have an island that is one giant winding mountain that ends at a shrine! Or maybe make a volcano! We could theoretically also make a doughnut island that has a giant lake in the middle.

I'm thinking the max hight may be 5 or 6 layers

What ideas do you have for terraforming based on the direct? Do you think we we have limitations/what do you think those would be?

Edit;
Someone posted this in a discord group I'm in!!!!

Do you think drawing with the terrain options will be a popular trend? I know I really want to try it out!

I feel like the max will just be the three layers that the islands start with. It would be cool to have your house on top of a giant mountain, but I don't think the game would allow for that.

we’ll likely only have 3 tiers but it would be cool to build more if we wanted to

What I wanna know is if you can trap the villagers in their houses using the terrain tools mwahaha

I've a few ideas in mind already. Not going to share them juuuust yet, though.

Same, this just opens up so many possibilities

I'm so excited for this feature. I don't have ideas yet because I don't know what my map will look like, but I'm so stoked!

I'm really curious how extreme it can get. Can you make your entire island the high level, or low level? I kinda doubt it, like it'll only allow you to do like 80% of either or something like that. But it would be fun to see completely different types of islands.

As a landscaper, I'm going all out with my terraforming. The ideas I'm already getting are insane. I just pray they end up being possible!

Now I want to see what you end up doing. Lol I have a few ideas too. I love waterfalls. So many waterfalls. O:

Probably not... sadly

 

[Lemons]

I wonder if there's a limit for how many waterfalls and lakes I can create. I want to make lots of little islands!

Drawing on the map with the rivers/different layers would be really cool!!!!

I’m just waiting for the inevitable towns modeled after LoZ maps.

Always lol
I dont think I could ever count the amount of towns I've seen called "hyrule", especially now that we have an ocarina tool we can use.

i want to make a heart or star shaped pond. i don't think i'll try to make a picture or anything special on my map lol i'm not creatively or artistically inclined enough to make that work.

That sounds so cute!!! I was thinking of doing something similar but with flower shaped ponds. I think it could be cool to have the lower layer be a solid star surrounded by a second layer

 

[meggiewes]

I saw a post on reddit where a person was wondering if we had to place a bridge above a river or if they could make one across a gorge. That would be interesting and super fun if we could.

 

[MasterM64]

I'm not quite ready to share ideas as well, but I'm already sketching my town out in my head. I will say though that the options this feature allows will truly make so many unique, fun layouts possible!

You could dig a huge pit, fill it with pitfall seeds and fence it off once you've pushed all of the villagers into it. Kinda like a prison!
