CAVE BRUSH

Natural Underground Areas

This tool will let you create caves by painting areas on the map.

QUICKSTART

MAIN MODES

There are two main modes in this tool: Dig Cave and Blast Open.

Use Show Blast Opened Areas to visualize what you’ve done

With Show Blast Opened Area, you can now see what you've done in Blast Open

Cave Customization

You can change the style and color of the cave. Any change you’ll apply to a style will apply to all the caves of your map.

You can turn the walls and/or the ground transparent by lowering the fourth slider in the color picker (alpha).

See the Custom Color Palette Chapter for more info.

First style

Second style (doesn't look great with sharp corners and small spaces)

First style with custom colors

First style with transparent ground color

Use this slider in the color picker to adjust a color's opacity

Pro Tip: If the Cave Tool is too limited for what you need, you can use the Cliff path from the Path Tool to draw your cave walls, and use a Pattern for the floor.

USEFUL INFO

📌 Good to know 📌

• Only the first of the two default styles is colorable.

• The Cave Brush interacts with the walls from the Building Tool but not with the walls from the Wall Tool.
