it is very annoying, and really tiring / sometimes time consuming. but i guess it all makes it worth it when you get the end result that you wanted.
Does anyone else get aggravated while terraforming?

Does anyone else get sad when you've made terraforming plans in Happy Island Designer, but it turns out looking like utter crap after actually implementing them in-game?

Haha, yesss.. mine didn't work at all.. turns out I wanted to fit way too much on my island.
It worked better for me when I just started winging it and did bit by bit. A few months later and my terraforming is almost done
I feel like with the way tf works in this game doing things slowly and not all at once is the only way to stay sane ;D

I rarely do big terraforming projects, though even when doing minor terraforming, I would get a little annoyed especially if I decided I wanted to go back to what the land or water looked like before messing it up. I do plan on trying something really cool after I am done with a cataloguing event I’m planning since the posters are taking up a lot of space on the ground; it will require a lot of terraforming which I can’t say that I’m too excited about (I’m more excited about after - decorating the area).

I like being able to tweak the island to make a little more room there or make a cliff line up better with a path or river, etc, but yes, I would love an undo button! The amount of times I've tried to add a half-square and ended up destroying one, or vice versa, or apparently targeted the square over from where I'm trying to...oof. 
I kind of feel like I should flatten my island and rebuild it all because there are so many absolutely stunning islands out there and mine is...ok, but I kind of kept a natural terrain. But the thought of completely terraforming it is very daunting!

Honestly the thing I get more annoyed with is the auto save feature when terraforming now. At the beginning before I had a good amount of practice with terraforming it definitely could get on my nerves. Now it's basically just the inconvenience of the auto save feature not allowing me to just mess around for a while with terraforming... without having to tear it all back down.
Yes, I love it in concept but I hate actually doing it. Really wish they would add a box or something showing where I'm aiming (like the ones they already have when you're moving furniture in you're house!!). The number of times I have to redo rivers or cliffs because I'm facing slightly away from where I want to hit kills me....
Also really wish there was a way to move flowers quickly, there's so many in one section that I'm too lazy to move, which in turns makes me too lazy to terraform that area lol

yes i wish they never added it
i'll get frustrated whenever i build a cliff in the wrong spot, so then i have to break it then try to build it in the right spot.... only to do the same thing again. it makes me so angry... i feel like i have a better time dealing with cliffs though than rivers. .... i hate terraforming rivers.
wow is it possible to not feel even a bit slightly annoyed while terraforming? lmao i swear something always irritates me whenever i'm working on a big terraforming project on my island. personally, i feel like it's the thing that annoys me the most in this game despite its main purpose is giving me the player more creative freedom. probably has to do with how it's finicky to control and angle your character to create specific patterns or structures upon the first try.
albeit i've gotten much better with it now compared to when i first got access to terraforming in april but alas.

I rarely terraform so I can't say I've experienced these issues, but I think we can all agree that our villagers getting in the way can be a pain, especially if they decide to sit down at the last moment!

Flowers are pretty much annoying in almost every aspect. Trying to pick something up? You pick the flower petals instead. Do you want to uproot groups of flowers? Dig it up with a shovel one by one while being unsure of its durability in the process. Are you breeding for a certain hybrid colour? Too bad! You get another regular flower!

I spend more time undoing terraforming because I know the game can create what I want, it just won't do it...

I hate terraforming bc I’m terrible with visualizing the island in the way of how I’d like it to look. So I kinda end up spending a lot of time doing things I’m eventually gonna reverse.

I spend my whole day terraforming to the destroy it the next day, to then rebuild it again. That’s pretty much all I do in the game nowadays. When I finish one section of my island, I move in the another, then I realize the one before I didn’t like, so I go back and destroy and rebuild, then the previous one I don’t like so I go back to that one as well. It’s an endless cycle to terraform.
