[13.6] Adding ground can cause water being added close by

[jonatkins]

Hard to describe well, but when extending a railway across a lake with a 2-wide landfill a small island just south of the path had it's end stretched out parallel to the placed land.

That small island started off half the size, but I didn't manage to screenshot the start of the problem.

By the time I thought of checking autosaves the first stages of the issue had been overwritten. However, here's a save from just before the screenshot was taken.

This is not directly caused by landfill, as the map editor does the same thing. It might be intended to prevent scattered tiny ground variations from being generated.

I don't feel the title change to "Adding ground can cause water being added close by" really describes the problem as I'm seeing it. Water isn't being added at all - it's the small island having it's right-hand side stretched out - adding land several grid squares away from where I'm using landfill.

What I would expect is that either the small island had land added to join it to the path I was making, or land removed to keep the water channel between it and the path - not the right hand end of the island moving each time I extended the path.

That's just how it works when dealing with landfill.

it also create other landfill under. Lines could stack probably yo infinity. Very nice way to create path for multiple rail lines
