:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
When changing the Foundation Terrain of Buildings, the Terrain only changes graphically, but not logic wise. In my mod i Created a building that spawns water as foundation terrain - so I placed the building, but as you can see, Units can walk through the water and Ships can’t cross it

And please, before you copy-paste your standard sentence with "This is intended Game design"

PLEASE I need this so bad for my mod, And I am sure you might too in the future, also if you add the possibility to change the Terrain in real time, think of the possibilities in Scenarios (Triggers that can shape terrain - seasons would be possible with leaves, snow, greener grass in spring etc.), Campaigns, Modding, You could dry swamps or Build Water Tunnels like walls connecting lakes, Oceans. You could build dykes, build water moats around castles (or in a campaign), make a new mechanic, cure diseases, improve society - It wouldn’t be too OP because it only applies to BUILT buildings, so quick walking terrains wouldn’t be possible.
Terrashaping has been done, to some degree in the middle ages too (Field watering, Streets, Mining) . I really need this, I beg you
