Alignment Mod

The Alignment Mod is an Augment used by the Terrain Tool in order to create a truly flat plane. The Alignment Mod has two functions while attempting to flatten Terrain, based on the direction the camera is facing:
 * Normal Mode: Facing the ground. Digging will be locked downwards in a straight line, perpendicular to the planet's core.
 * Build Mode: Facing the horizon. Makes a wall perpendicular to the planet's curve. The wall will always face the player.
 * Flat Mode: Facing the ground. This mode creates an ever-so-slightly curved ground that is tangent to the Planet's curve. This mode, if used for the length of the circumference of the planet, will wrap back around to the starting point, creating a circle.
 * Notably, the flat surface generated by the Alignment Mod is simply perpendicular to gravity at the exact polygon the flatten tool is focused on when the terrain tool activates. Consequently, at lower altitudes or closer to the cores of planets, it's necessary to occasionally pick new flattening locations in order to produce a true sphere, Otherwise, the closer to the core of a planet the Terrain Tool is, the less 'round' the surface produced will actually be.
