v1.5 here:

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3280637253

Rip will be missed

Tested it out doesn't seem to break anything but doesn't work either

For more detail when you click to put down the zone and then click again to confirm the area it just starts drawing a new zone

Anyone know if this works for 1.5? or if there's any equivalent mods out there

this excites me a lot!

What is the texture mod that you're using?

thank you so much holy shit I've been wanting this since the first day I started playing

The hard stone/steel floors being blended in with grass and dirt was annoying. This is a great idea, thank you.

Just adding to the voices saying that this mod is a feature I would like to see, and clearly has a lot of potential. I understand this being a low-priority project, but I do hope it finds it's way back onto your task list in time. Thanks for all your great mods.

If it is possible to just pick a tile and force it to have hard edges, that would probably be for the best.

I'm not quite sure what causes it, but you don't always get the behavior you would expect out of this. Some edges go solid that aren't fully selected, others do not. I've found it really only works in a very select few cases as desired, mainly if you have tiles that all share like boundaries. In more complex arrangements where multiple tiles are set, you can get soft edges even though the tile is completely surrounded and should, by all accounts, have 4 hard edges.

just seeing this now, I have been wanting this as an option forever! Thanks for all your hard work Owlchemist <3

Mods that add custom areas can do that. Use mid-saver saver's corrupt area fix to fix that. Or you could try removing all the areas first before removing the mod.

I'm a huge fan of your work and know you've got a lot on your plate. This mod is such a great idea so here's hoping you eventually find time to complete it!

THANK YOU mate. I've been editing XML's to suit my needs regarding tile edges, now I can do it per tile ! You read in my mind. In fact, i just realized half of my modlist is comprised of your mods :').

Thanks for the response, Owlchemist. Yes, I was looking for having just one tile affected, although I thought I did try hitting both the stone tile and water next to it without result. So the expected result would be as follows. Tile A is gravel, tile B is water, and tile C is stone tile. If I apply the tool to tiles B & C, I would get a hard edge between B and C, but the edge between A & B would remain rough? If that's how it works, that's darn clever code! My hat is off to you for even trying to do this.

You have to place the edge zone on both the tile you want and the surrounding tiles. I would prefer it to work by just placing it on only the tile you want, one reason why I consider the mod unfinished still.

Like joneill132, I am not seeing a graphical difference when I place the area. In my case, I was placing stone tile next to shallow water and wanted a hard edge between the two. I recall seeing something on a forum about it being impossible to get hard edges on stone tiles because of something in core. Does this only work for dirt and roads? Or perhaps it's because I use modded stone tiles?

It's only half-done. There's meant to be a reverse - soft edges.

Question, why is this unlisted?

I've actually been thinking of making a mod like this, but automatic based on a few factors. Figured that paths traveled more often are going to be maintained more, so they would keep a hard edge. Paths that aren't traveled often would convert to soft edge over time. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a good way to implement this without destroying tps for checking every damn tile with a custom last traveled check, so this mod is great!

Area is placeable and removable, but does not change the graphics. Are there any known compatibility issues? Or a specific priority it should be on the load order? I have a very large mod list.

awesome. finally no more cut of floors.

Awesome

WOW thank you so much for this!! Now my gardens don't look like complete garbage!

@Owlchemist Ah, I'm not a modder myself so I didn't know that was the case, but it's good to know it's a planned feature. Thanks for the reply and here's hoping you can figure it out eventually without too much trouble

v1.0.1
- Fixes areas not being allowed on buildings.

@LoopKat this is the plan (if you look under the hood, the "hard edge aeas" are actually called "inversion areas". It was meant to go both ways, but *removing* the soft edging is a lot easier than adding it. Still trying to figure out how.

Any chance you could add the inverse functionality to this mod as well, at some point? There are some floors that always have hard edges (such as the boardwalk floors from Bridgello) that I would prefer to have soft edges in certain cases

This utterly obliterates the only reason I still had like three different mods which happened to have little bits of hard-edged terrain I needed.

Sheesh. One of minor-est of annoyances, yet I'm absolutely excited about this as a resource!

yooooo

Having tiles outside look like they were half dug into the dirt always bothered me, very good mod for fixing that exact issue.
