We need a road/pathway option as well as terraforming ground function!

The uneven terrain is a pain in the neck. If we could terraform some terrain, not the rocks or anything like that but just the ground to make it slightly more flat so a tile or foundation could be placed. Also the ability to make cobblestone or even dirt roads or paths. I know it would clutter up the server so maybe only allow it within claimed land and have to be attached to an existing foundation.

That’s literally what foundations are for: turning uneven ground into a flat surface on which to build.

Unfortunately that likely isn’t possible.
The way the “mesh” works in this game, basically, every terrain is hollow.
If you flattened down a raised area, it would actually slice the mesh open leaving a gaping hole to oblivion (or the water table if near any large bodies of water).

Terraforming in the way that one can in, say, Valheim, is not really possible due to the way the world is built.

So, while an extremely lovely idea that this one likes, and this one has seen mods for adding cellars and basements to existing structures, actually terrain alterations would require something of an extensive rebuild.

For an example of what this one means by it is all hollow, go into ghost mode from the admin panel in a single player game and float under the surface of the ground.

I think its possible but to the point of making the game extremely performance heavy because of the way the game is designed. It would involve moving what is sculpted in UE into game mechanics which would mean the landscape couldnt be baked for the same performance efficiency. Possible but likely infeasible.
