• 🔒 Height Lock (H Key): Freeze your leveling elevation to your foundation or current height so you can level an entire building plot to the exact same flat height!
• 🎯 Aim Elevation Lock (J Key): Instantly lock the leveling height to wherever your placement crosshair is pointing.

Changelog

v1.0.2 - Deep Downward Digging & Enhanced Radius Controls

• Deep Downward Leveling: Overrode vanilla terrain modifier clamps (-8m limitation). High hills, mounds, and elevated dirt are now leveled directly down to the flat plane without requiring a pickaxe.
• Expanded Leveling Limits: Expanded the clamp range from vanilla +/- 8m to +/- 50m in TerrainComp.LevelTerrain, with safe bypass of Heightmap.AtMaxWorldLevelDepth and Heightmap.AtMaxLevelDepth.
• Refined Height Positioning: Fixed Player.PlacePiece height application via ref Vector3 pos, preventing vanilla feet-snapping overrides.
• Dual Terrain Component Support: Custom radius and locked elevation now reliably patch both TerrainOp and TerrainModifier architectures.
• Versatile Radius Controls: Added support for Shift + Mouse Scroll, Alt + Mouse Scroll, =, -, +, Numpad +/-, and [/] to accommodate all international and Bulgarian keyboard layouts.
