I need to make a terrain for a farming community. What would you guys recommend as a base to start from? It needs to be fairly flat with some height variety and maybe some hills. So far I’m getting either too mountainous or too flat and bland.

Do you have some reference material? Imagery on the type of landscape you want to create and such?
Yes! What did you use to generate that kind of terrain?
A very simple flat base terrain, then using a river system to carve out the river paths. Then, using varying slopes for the old version of the Thermal Weathering device, I’ve created the valleys. And finally, using the Snow device I emulated the dirt depositions, giving the smooth look.

@davidroberson Could you share the tmd?
No problem. It’s from Build 4032 (Dev Channel Release), I think.

BTW, has there been an update since Dev 4032? I was going to extend my license but it’s saying I’m up to date with this version.
@davidroberson Nope, 4032 is currently still the last development build released may last year. I would recommend waiting for some sign of life before extending your maintenance.
