Creating a base (flat) landscape...

Does anyone know how to create an entirely flat landscape? Being able to do so would allow for more control over the map, as I could pick and choose where I want my terrain to be placed rather than having to smooth out hills that are already there.

Yep, you can get it And if you haven't already done so, I highly suggest reading his tutorials.

Specifically, you can use the filter function in the terraformer to bring any terrain to its knees, or help it up, whatever.
1. Open Map Editor with "editor.open();" in the console.
2. Click Terraformer
3. Click Heightfield, if necessary
4. Click Lush
5. Delete all but: 0 General and 1 fbm fractal
6. Click Apply
7. Add "filter"
8. Drag all control points to the bottom.
9. Click Apply.
There is probably a faster way or more detailed explanation somwhere. But this should work.

That's pretty much how I made the MissionBlank...

make an all black\grey\white bitmap, save as a .png file and put it in the base\terrain\heightfield folder. (reminder: with a color besides a black bitmap you will be able to lower the height of the terrain still) goto the terraformer erase all the variables except the "general", and insert your bitmap.

Easiest way is to just go into the heightfield operations, delete all but general, add a fractal... and set the minHeight to 50 and the height range to 0 in the 'general' operation = flat terrain. No filter needed
