I see people wondering how terraforming will work and maybe only certain people can terraform when the tribe is formed but is it absolutly necessary that you terraform to build a log cabin?

if we can just build cabins without terraforming it would make more sense the only reason to terraform is if your going to build a massive city compound. but if you are solo and want to have a small cabin why do you need terraforming.

This maybe how it is already I might be confused cause so much of the game is not active.

Is building construction a totally diffrent aspect of the game where terraforming isnt necessarry?
