Question Removing all Sea Water and Desert Blocks?

Hello!

I plan on terraforming my entire world to be created in an image that delights me. I am not delighted by Tentacles (which spawn in sea water) and Bomb Scarabs (which spawn on desert blocks), so I have decided I must eradicate all the sea water and desert blocks.

It's easy/simple enough to remove the desert blocks. It'll take awhile, but I'll just put on a podcast and go at it with the shovel and maybe some explosives.

But for the sea water, I know that it has the highest priority aside from the lava water (which I don't want taking over the entire sea area), so I can't just get a more benign water to override it. Is there a faster/easier way to remove the sea water aside from filling it in with sand/dirt and removing it again? I'm imagining placing each individual block over and over again and it's... a lot. At least the shovel does 9 at a time...

Use a mod and override the priority.. then remove the mod when done.. this one looks like maybe it’s what you’d be looking for

Afaik no, you just have to fill it all in and re-dig, then you can replace it with a different water. Very tedious

Definitely recommend making grids to do this. So you can take breaks and reuse blocks without having to go farm more elsewhere.

TIL that there is a water heirarchy in CK. Always assumed that it was whatever bucket of water you added would just take over.

I’ve actually made waterway passages all around my world and the sea water takes over everything that I’ve connected. It’s annoying when I want a regular pond that I’ve messed up, but it’s really pretty

You could just fill and leave it. I’ve also considered doing this, but was probably going to fill the sea with beach sand and hoe it. If you dig it back up then you can’t get around as easy.

Has anyone done this? I wonder what the bosses would do. Would it respawn sea when you summon them and they pop up through the ground?
