Chapter 19 ‐ Landscaping and Paving Tiles
Landscaping involves removing geographic obstacles so that you can create flat spaces for building. In addition, you can cover the land with paving tiles such as stone bricks or concrete variants. Landscaping technologies are unlocked in the early game and mid game, but support for these features have been added to the mod with version 0.4.
These resources can be individually mined by hand in order to remove them. They can also be bulldozed away using cars or tanks, although cars take damage from this, and rocks take a lot of time to bulldoze. There is no way to restore trees or rocks in vanilla Factorio.
When you obtain stone bricks or some kind of concrete, you can pave the land with it in order to build paths or mark out factory areas. Players and vehicles move slightly faster than usual on paved surfaces, with stone bricks making a slight difference and refined concrete making the biggest difference. Stone bricks are available immediately from the start of the game by smelting stone, while concrete and refined concrete are unlocked later, with logistics science.
To place a paving tile, grab the relevant tile item in hand and press LEFT BRACKET. For every press, the default placement is to cover a 3 by 3 area with you in the center. This will take 9 tiles from your inventory. If any of the tiles around you are already the same type, it will not cost any items to repave them. If the tiles previously had another paving over them, the other paving items are collected without penalty.
When you grab any paving in hand, you can press X to mine away a 2 by 2 area in front of you. The paving items are collected without penalty and the original terrain tile beneath it comes back.
Landfill can be used to fill up water tiles just as concrete can pave over land, with the same default 3 by 3 placement. However, placing landfill is not reversible, as a fundamental rule of the game.
When you have researched cliff explosives, you can craft them as items. If you take some cliff explosives in hand and walk up to a cliff, you can remove the cliff by using the explosives with LEFT BRACKET. The explosives do not damage anything other than the cliff. After the cliff is destroyed, the terrain automatically levels out such that it is essentially flat.
