Nice, I thanks for the focused patch ,additions, and modding related tweaks, especially 'isolated failures' feature for loading, big help in avoiding some confusion when errors happen.

Spectacular update. Initially, everything works ok, including mods and assets installed for me.
-Quays: great active for coastline.
-Canals and Floodwalls, magnificents.
-And finally Terraforming in game :) (a small "but": no trees brush).
-Rocks: many and varied. :cool: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=650505319
-Road: 3 heights, good detail.

works good, so far only FPS mod in enhanced zoom seems broken.

quays are brilliant.

Indeed they are; they even go around curves seamlessly. Great work! And my loading time was much faster than usual.
 
Brilliant update. I've been using fine road heights mod for so long but it was never perfect, so the new official addition is just SUPERB. Works beautifully.
The rest is great as well but being able to build roads of varying heights without mods is such a relief.
 
On first look it's an impressive package. One mod I wish they'd included is precision engineering, maybe next time? Locks & gates for the canals are needed. Is it me or are the graphics sharper with more clarity and detail? Quays are excellent- simple and straightforward to use love how buildings snap to quay- nice neat and fast- no more faffing about! Fine road heights incorporated- yes! Landscaping tools are a bit fiddly- don't quite understand the soil availability panel. Precision engineering and unlimited trees mods are causing conflict for me, had to delete them both. Great update thanks CO. A big thumbs up!

I had no problem with Precision Engineering. It worked for me. Maybe a conflict with another mod?

It's pretty simple... you start at about 50% dirt... if you add land it depletes this dirt, if you take away dirt it adds to your pile, basically it's a limiter so that you can't completely reshape a map entirely... it's a totally pointless mechanic in my view but it shouldn't get in the way for minor editing.

I like it, now that I've spent a few hours using it. I had a hell of a lot of land extension by 1 zone cell to do in order to lay out miles and miles of quays. This depleted my soil several times. But that just meant that I have now created a lovely mining area full of quarries, pits and terraced ridges into the side of the mountain, for my specialised ore industry ;)
So I get full soil reserves and a great looking industry district, and much tidier looking waterfronts.

There're just two snags so far.
I haven't pinned down the mod source of conflict yet, but I've found I can additionally use Extra Landscaping Tools mod on some saves but not with others. The fail is whenever I select the water tools menu, the game locks up and crashes.
The second snag is more annoying. The update has rendered my previously invisible highway, visible! Arghh! I loved that exploit of mine dammit lol
