Terrain flatten consistently ignored

[WelshRoblox (Dean)]

A major issue with the terrain editor that has been reported since November 2024 in multiple bug reports but still being met with the usual “we’re looking into it” on every single one then met with the “closed due to duplicate thread”.

This is a colossal issue that should have been fixed many months ago but 5 months have passed and nothing has come of it.

Links to the multiple bug reports in date order that are still being ignored:

1. Flatten tool not respecting flatten mode [closed]
2. Terrain flatten not flattening correctly [closed]
3. The flattener terrain tool is useable due to being inaccurate
4. Flatten tool not respecting flatten mode [closed]

This is the 5th bug report now and I’m hoping some action will be taken rather than the consistent inaction. There are streams of videos on all the bug reports attached above showing what is happening.

I believe this is because the entire Terrain Editor is in the process of being re-written:

Terrain Editor Draw Tool double-clicks

We still can’t repro this issue locally, but we’re redoing the Terrain Editor from scratch, and hopefully this won’t be the case there. We are focusing on the delivery of the new editor and won’t be fixing this in the current terrain editor. Please bear with us while we working on it

Try my plugin out, my tools are better than Roblox’s

Terrain Tools/Editor (FREE TILL 4/28/25)

[DKN's Terrain Editor] I made this plugin for myself so I could make and design smooth terrain efficiently. How does this plugin do that you may ask? What’s better way to skip time other than key-binds. I configured a couple buttons to key-binds so you can focus more on making your terrain. Not only are key-binds a big factor in this plugin. You can save your configurations, so you can go from working on terrain at y=0, to go work in the mountains with just a click of a paste button! I’ll t…

So they remade the terrain tools over a year ago, which just broke them in many ways, and then they’re remaking them AGAIN!?

I really hope they finally make the terrain tools work properly again, it’s just so janky, imprecise, and unpredictable.

When did they remake the Terrain Editor? I feel like it’s been almost exactly the same, maybe slightly re-designed, the entire time I’ve been using this platform. Re-designing something and completely re-making it are two different things.

[DIREFUL_7N1F3 (DKN)]

It wasn’t really remade at that time, it was just an update on the ui

[VGVC2]

there were some underlying behaviour changes, I even had to figure certain problems out with one of the staff. Remade, rewritten, tweaked, whatever. They fiddled with the tools previously, and that caused a lot of jank to start happening.

Ahh fair nuff. I made my own editor due to the jankiness of the built in one and it’s so tedious to make maps with it. You should try mine out tho it has shortcuts and a bit of other cool stuff!
