Extra Landscaping Tools Patched -

The Extra Landscaping Tools (ELT) mod for Cities: Skylines and its successor for Cities: Skylines 2 have received several critical community patches and updates to maintain compatibility with game version changes. These updates typically resolve game-breaking bugs, UI errors, or conflicts with other popular mods. Patch Overview and Version Fixes

Cities: Skylines 1 Compatibility: Various community "FIX" versions have been released when the original mod by BloodyPenguin became outdated. For example, the Extra Landscaping Tools [1.15.1-f4 FIX] was specifically created to replace the original version after it became incompatible with newer game versions like Financial Districts.

Cities: Skylines 2 Updates: The mod for the sequel is frequently updated to align with major game patches, such as the Economy 2.0 update, which previously caused the mod to disappear from the game window.

Extra Lib Dependency: In Cities: Skylines 2, ELT often requires Extra Lib to function properly. Ensuring both are updated is a common fix for mod failure. Resolved Issues & Common Fixes extra landscaping tools patched

Terrain Spikes & Blue Patches: Mathematical artifacts causing giant spikes or blue lines were often linked to using single-size brushes or conflicts with Surface Painter and Node Controller. These have largely been addressed through updates to those specific mods.

Missing UI Menus: If the landscaping menu doesn't appear, users are advised to delete their local cache folder (found in AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines 2\cache) and relaunch the game.

Road Tree Upgrade Conflict: A past patch specifically fixed a conflict where the tool would prevent the road tree upgrade button from appearing on Parklife or Campus paths. Essential Tool Features The Extra Landscaping Tools (ELT) mod for Cities:

For Game Environment Artists

• Before: Hand-sculpting river valleys took 6–8 hours per kilometer.
• After: The Erosion Brush cuts that time down to 20 minutes. Combined with the Vegetation Mask Painter, you can now produce AAA-quality landscapes in a fraction of the time.

4. The Resources Tab

Modify natural resources on the map.

• Oil / Ore / Fertile Land / Forest: Paint these resources onto the ground to create specialized industry districts.
• No Resources: Erases resources from an area.

5. Potential Regressions (What You Might Lose)

No patch is perfect. Documented cases include:

• Saved brush presets may reset to defaults (back up BrushProfiles.xml before patching).
• Macros or scripts that called old function names may break (e.g., Landscape.Extra.FloodFill() renamed to LandscapeEx.FloodFillWithFalloff()).
• Map seed consistency – if hydraulic erosion algorithm changed, the same input terrain may erode differently after patch.

1. Abstract

In many terrain-editing platforms (games, CAD plugins, or GIS extensions), “extra landscaping tools” refer to community-created or premium modules that extend basic sculpt, flatten, and texture functions. When a patch note states “extra landscaping tools patched,” it typically indicates a stability, compatibility, or performance update rather than a removal. This paper analyzes the common contents of such a patch, its benefits, potential regressions, and a verification workflow for end users.
