Terraforming restrictions

[Wizlock23]

After being in the game a few weeks now i have come to notice one thing .... Terraforming needs to have some kind of restrictions set in place or the world will be ruined by someone bored or just wanting to ruin the game for everyone , Yes i understand that its really one of the only things to do right now but when more people get in the game and start doing it at once the face of the world will change for ever ....

With this said imagine some bored kid making a huge hole or wall every place you go (just random , not for any given reason) . To combat this i suggest looking into some kind of skill up that allows u to only terraform so much at low lvls , kinda like maybe only able to terraform X amount of land in X amount of time ( example at level 1-25 you can only terraform 2 feet high and up to 3 feet long in one day ...dont freak out this is just a example).

feel free to add on the ide or even tell me why its a bad idea


just think there needs to be some kind of limitations , or better way to put it " skill requirements "

Only Tribal zones of control will be terraformable once the game is released. And that area is based on the tribe size.

10 members = 100 meter diameter circle
Each additional member adds 5 meters to the diameter, or extends the border by 2.5 meters.

It would take a tribe of 190 members to have a 1 km wide zone of control.

I believe tribes will have a interest in their settlements and will not create monstrosities like we are seeing now. I think tribes will have permission tools to allow for regulation of who can terraform and terraforming will become a minor aspect of the game.

I'm curious as to what happens when 1 tribes zone runs into another tribes radius, do they overlap in a contested border where the stronger tribe owns the land, or do they share the land?

There is a limit so that you can't place two tribe totems so close together.

But what happens when a tribe gains members and their area grows ? In this way 2 tribe zones may overlap...
