Terrain Methods

There are a bunch of things you have to know when modifying terrain. First, terrain in Roblox is based on a 4x4x4 Voxel Grid based system. Internally, Roblox handles the smoothing and “mixing” of the terrain too.

Framework

We will be using a simple Tool to get player input and a couple of RemoteEvents for this. No need for RemoteFunctions. What is also important is to limit the amount of Voxels the player can edit every minute as Remotes can only fire definite amount of times every minute before they are dropped to prevent RE spam.

Explanation

We always declare our services. In this case will will need Replicated Storage

Outcome

I am not really that good at explaining or scripting. I only made this because I made something I will never use and thought it would be better to show someone else who might need it.

End notes

You can add special effects, sounds particles and a better tool model to make it look nice. It was slightly inspired by astroneer. If you have ever played or seen it you might know what I mean by it. Feel free to use the code!
