	Can you make squares ROCKY? Support Apolyton

I was just wondering, because I can't figure it out. I know how to level terrain to make it less rocky, but how do you make the terrain more rocky? Oh, and can you control how rivers flow?

Raising (and maybe lowering) terrain will sometimes increase the rockiness of tiles.

You can control the directions of rivers to some extent by drilling nearby rivers, or by raising/lowering nearby terrain. You can also end rivers by placing boreholes in their paths.

Only way I know is thru the scenario editor

But shouldn't that then create oodles of steam, falling as rain on the nearest highland (as the river plummets 100 kilometers into the superheated heart of the borehole)

Some boreholes have that effect, especially if you place them on the coast.

Make terrain more rocky? Why bother... just plonk a borehole down.

Well, I never actually thought of a use for it, I was just simply wondering if you could...

Not except by chance, in raising land.

	Increase Your PM Length

Why make rockyness, satellite minerals are way better. all cleen and the more you have the less time to build, unlike terraforming wich always takes the same amount of time.

Rocky tiles are the ultimate defensive terrain.
Forest: +50% vs ground
Rocky: +50% vs ground, +50% vs air
Fungus: +50% vs ground, +50% vs air, -50% vs Psi

Rivers can be chanelled by raising mountains along either side of the river, pretty hard to imagine why you might want to do that though - altough on atleast one ocassion I have drilled a river on the slope of a peak in order to create a river through a mess of rocky and fungus tiles.
