They actually did something good for once every few months.

It's not just a few more KB of wasted RobloxApp.exe size?

Nuh. It's comformability coming up on us. I suggest waiting a few days after the terrain comes, then looking at the front page. Lots of green is expected.

Yeah, this actually may do very little to up the quality of front page games, it may even bring it down.

It makes roblox look more like MC, which is exactly what roblox is trying to do.

Once the terrian generator is in final release, quality of games are going to go DOWN hill.

It's a nice generator, but I can name several downsides to it.

Well, If they think they can handle all the blocks in their terrain generator, then we can make our own terrain generators and it shouldn't lag.

Just wait until the future, when ROBLOX deletes all its ROBLOX and copys MC onto it.

*has to make flaws list*

-Size of voxels fixed
-Not rotateable
-towers of blocks seem to really be just towers of blocks, not optimized into something like (towerofblocks,startheight,endheight) so it lags.
-Cant change appereance i think
-Road tool creates fixed size roads, doesnt show any gui effects when making it, doesnt create the road for me with traffic lights and all, doesnt make uphill and downhill roads
-The thing doesnt automatically create edges for the terrain

"I bet I can make a better one."

Sure! Try to make a script that can handle 16 million parts in a place!

"-Road tool creates fixed size roads, doesnt show any gui effects when making it, doesnt create the road for me with traffic lights and all, doesnt make uphill and downhill roads"

The road tool is a plugin. Terrain itself and the plugins made by ROBLOX to work with terrain aren't the same. You can make your own plugins to edit terrain if you want.


Also, for those that complain that it is not customizable enough, just use parts, if you're not happy. The point of terrain is to have almost no lag at all. More customization also means more lag. If you need customization, use parts. Otherwise, use terrain.

We should probably just make a better terrain that is FAR more novel (so each map really IS unique) and much less MC ish.
