Hey, my map is still in its first stages, and I now realize it was a terrible idea to put default height at 30, as it's a peninsula close to sea level and it just makes it annoying to create the topography. Is there any way to change or view my default map height?

I know you can edit the height of the map with the terrainheight setting in the tweakerbar, but I'm not sure it will give you the result you want. Also I think you will have to replace all objects and stuff after raising it.
Don't forget to make backups of the map especially before trying new things.

But isnt terrainheight for setting the MAXIMUM height your terrain can be?

not really, it's more like an average afaik

if you increase it, everything will go up but the taller parts go up more, all objects will also move up at different rates

The only way to change the default height after the creation of the map is to edit the hightmap manually with the new height, or create a new map with that new default hight.

All the default height is is how high the default flat surface of your terrain is painted at with the default height settings. If your making a largely water based map its normally a good idea to have a default height of 0 so you can grow your islands out of the terrain rather than having to carve the area for the sea out from around the islands.

Yeah, thought so :/. Ah well, I only really put down some waypoints for myself as to where to place things, so I can just copy down those coordinates and redo them in like 30 mins. Thanks guys
