I wanted to change a biome and tried to use the RC terraformer.
Is this work in progress, or am i just not getting how to use ist.
I cant even find any information on it only the Reika video about the upcoming terraformer features.

According to the Manual I have to use the Tile Selector, but I dont know hot to use it either.
right clicking machines doenst do anything, I doubt that the tool gives no response on sucsessful toggling or any visual indicators.

You need to either use BC landmarks - as you would with a filler or quarry - or use the RC tile selector by shift-right-clicking on the machine then right-clicking individual columns. Note that it does not support any biomes other than vanilla.

And how do I select the Biome in which it should convert into. For example I placed the Terraformer in a Jungle, which is a vinalla biome.
The handbook says that i need Oak and Birch saps to convert it into forest, but nothing happens.

Odd is that, if I compare it to a filler, its dosent change the grid from red to the yellow/black, instead the marks just drop to the ground

You need to click the icon.

That is because the yellow and black is a BC render.

Probably im just too stupid to use your Terraformer, but when i see your video, it seems like the Terraformer should give me a selection when i open the GUI,
but its completly empty and in can only put stuff into the inventory of it.

could you maybe give a step by step instruction, if possible? Otherwise we will be talking here for days.

Always the same problem, I dont get any biomes to select from.
Im now in a taigahills biome used BC landmarks to make the red grid placed the terraformer. The landmarks drop to the ground, I place the Creative coil set it to a random number and put a lever behind it.
open the GUI and its empty. :/

Even the config states
B:"Terraformer Block Editing"=true

Try uninstalling any biome mods, including ATG.

Found the problem
I did not see your terraformer first, so i installed a mod called Biome Wands.
Disabled it now and now it works.
Thanks for the help once again.

Edit1: well false arlarm it worked on a newly created map on a server.
But our old map was created with the RC version of 19, which did not have the terraformer at this point. Thats probably the problem, which doesnt let me see the selection in the gui

The terraformer has not really changed since 1.5 except for the addition of BC marker usage and block editing, neither of which "persist" from worlds created in old versions.
