Drilling smooth
Submitted
The ability to drill smooth with rovers is missing -> it´s nearly impossible to drill even a small tunnel downwards wich you can drive in and out cleanly because the terrain get´s so wobbly.Maybe add an item wich we can attach at the back of a rover to smooth out the surface so it´s driveable.
I like this feedback
Or add it as another mode using middle mouse, maybe a smaller radius requiring overlapping fields for really smooth surface or multiple passes.
It could just work a bit like right click drilling and not giving any material back and work by just removing the vertices that sticks deepest into the affected field and piece by piece smooth the area so the longer you keep it in place the smoother the surface so for a really smooth floor you need to go slowly.
That would make it not to powerful but still offering a solution to a problem that currently can only be solved with mods.
And while we are at it a similar mode for the hand drill, and allow an area of effect.
It would also be perfect to remove residuals in corners or those left over floating voxels that are super hard to target without a vehicle drill today.
One more important thing, smooth drilling should not affect any grids, indicating that your going very careful.

Yes, even with the slowest and most gentle use of the mine or excavate radii, the surface is never as smooth as virgin surface, there is always some residual voxel pattern showing. Voted, and thanks for digging this out, David.
