I'm playing a modded playthrough with cargo ships, water ores, and (small) island worldgen. Having to deal with cliffs/reefs when planning shipping lanes would make for an interesting challenge.

I'm fairly new to modding, having done recipe and entity changes. Making a worldgen-focused mod would be a fun change.

Try to delete collision mask between water and cliffs.

The second way is a way like by https://mods.factorio.com/mod/nicefill
Make hidden surface without water and copy cliffs from it.

data.raw.cliff.cliff.collision_mask = {
  "item-layer", "object-layer", "player-layer", "not-colliding-with-itself", -- "water-tile",
}

I tried editing the collision mask for cliffs:

Code: Select all

data.raw.cliff.cliff.collision_mask = {
  "item-layer", "object-layer", "player-layer", "not-colliding-with-itself", -- "water-tile",
}

but this doesn't seem to work. Any ideas why?
