Interesting Find - Transparent tiles on ground
Date Posted: 20th Aug 2011 at 10:09 AM Views: 346
Today by luck I found out what is happening when a transparent tile is placed on the ground. I didn't knew this so I decided to note it down!



As you can understand by the picture, a transparent tile on the ground lets you see the level which is under the ground (Ground=lvl 1, so lvl -1 [bottom of the pool]).
We know that when a Transparent tile is placed on ground you can see a light blue colour, and no grid under that, meaning that lvl -1 is not available, but it gets available after building a pool.

So we have a grid in lvl -1, can we place objects on this grid? Also can we adjust the depth/height of the lvl -1? When we are using the CFE cheat the lvl -1 changes its elevation (if adjusting the ground no pool's bottom). If you set the GA to lower the ground 20cl lvl -1 will be higher than lvl 0?

RESEARCH: Can you see below lvl -1? We know that the lowest level that is used by the game is lvl -1, but is there a level under lvl -1?

I know that this entry has more questions than the thing I found, but I just wanted to note all of the Qs down. Also the GA researches may be helpful to answer those Qs, so Mootilda if ,from your researches, you know something for any question, please comment on it!

Argh. I hate trying to have a discussion in a journal. I can't edit my post to add more information...

Looking back over my posts starting about here:

and here:

I see that my tests may have been hampered by the water level on the lot, which can prevent the placement of objects on an underground level. So, there may be some interesting research to be done in this area.

Level -1 can be adjusted, but so far we have not been able to find a way to place anything on that level, so it isn't useful for building. Since my level -1 tests were so unsuccessful, I've never tried level -2 tests.
