The Surveyor Topology tab [F1]  is where you'll find the tools used to reshape the terrain in your world.

To get started click on the Topology tab to open it or press [F1] ; once you have selected a tool, you can close the pane by RMB clicking the tab again (top tab, on the right edge of the screen), or by using the [F1]  hot key.

  • The three top buttons allow you to activate the basic tools to raise and lower terrain.
  • The knobs below that alter the area the tool will affect and the sensitivity of the tool.

To try it out click on the leftmost top button (build a Hill, icon is concave down) and then click and hold the mouse somewhere in the world. The longer you hold down the mouse the higher the terrain will get.
