Bet lost. The mod FARL can do exactly that.

Love the mod, would it be possible to make it compatible with this mod:

I seem to be getting an error when I add Terraforming
Thanks and best regards!

Sorry, it doesn't do that. It places tracks that you can't walk on. You can't actually place a cement bridge that is 5x wide across water that you can build pipes and conveyors on with FARL.
Scratch that, bridged rails wasn't part of FARL. Bridged Rails just sucks.
However, FARL doesn't let you do a 5x wide CEMENT ONLY bridge. On top of that, it requires you to do it via train. Not by hand. FARL places dirt blocks using cement. This is not what I want.

Terraforming is modifying the debug lua native object and I use it to auto-extract the mod name.
For me, this case should not come because lua should be sandboxed per mods.
Also Terraforming should not overide native objects, in this case : debug

Thank you for your quick reply, I have send your answer in a private message to the modmaker of terraforming.

Would it be possible to make a paving machine? If it covers a large area I believe that it would be very beneficial to a lot of people who have very large factories. I was also wondering would it be possible to add a double moat package that outputs 2 lanes of moats side by side? Thanks and this is a great mod.

There's a mod that automatically paves when you build something (more precisely places a blueprint for concrete) .

Great Mod. Having lots of fun. I may have run into a slight bug. I am unable to merge two moats together using the regular moat digger. It will keep placing dirt in its own path. It will not even stop at a large body of water like a lake.

Yeah I'm also having this issue. I was trying to create something that would resemble a natural lake but I was not able to do so because of the dirt lines created inbetween moats.
Filling in an entire lake works just fine though.

For ideas to consider, why not change the bridge building machine to place concrete on any dirt tiles under it? Can you make it calculate the price based on what tiles lay below the part where it places terrain? Right now, it places semi ugly bridges unless you find a 3x wide flat spot to start at, and even then you can't get concrete before it. If I was home I'd be able to screenshot what I mean, but I assume you know. I'll doodle up a quick preview in letters.

Here is an example of the bridge builder skipping some blocks.

i love your mod.. even better since the logistics one's.. only one thing annoy me a bit... it pause the game with a nice message when it finished working..... is there a way to just to not pause the game when builders are done with work.
with like 10 or 20 builders working at same time.. i could set it, let em go , and do something else.. like my cofee
or just having that pause in middle of a fight
. .. oups

If you want to patch it now, search control.lua for "msg-bridge-done", and you'll find a line like (in version 0.12.5 of the mod it's line 330):
Comment out that line by sticking a "--" in front of it, and you'll be good:

AH! Thanks needed that!
Question: What if we wanted a console message?
Could you suggest the code change?

It seems kinda cheap just being able to completely deny access to the mobs, maybe add an ability for them to fill in a moat and cross it?

Sure..let them fill it in with dead bodies....
truth be told...not a bad idea...
Honestly, I like to leave "little gaps.
[My hypocrisy/benevolence (your call) has limits...] and give them a chance to get in past defenses..
Although....NOT MY MATERIALS STORAGE.
that's non-negotiable...

hey man! excellent mod and excellent implementation!
congrats and ty!
i got one suggestion, dont know of this has been said, though. Id like to see some sort of feedback for when builders run out of land. like the ones u get when there r not enough roboots or materials for construction and the like.
im on a big terraforming project at the moment with +30 builders and it becoming a pain to check which r done.
ty and keep it up!

I'm also having the problem with the moat builders not stopping when they reach water. the moat builder continues to create ground ahead of it so it never connects with a body of water. Thanks for making a great mod!
