Thank you Silari, I apparently missed that.

The remote view seems to show all surfaces available in the game, even those generated by mods. Is there an option to create a "hidden" surface that's not listed in the remote view?

NiceFill generates an additional surface when placing landfill, to know exactly which tile it needs to replace the ...
