No, it wouldn't.

Umm, that would be no build at all and 0 bricks.

What I meant is that I have the structure of the building done. There is nothing inside it and very little outside.

Yeah, it would. You'd also have to re-ghost entire builds each time you go far enough away from them and then return which is way more of a pain in the ass than the monster ghosting at the beginning of the mission. Not to mention caching bricks on the client's HDD is a terrible idea because it's slower to access and you'd still have to effectively re-ghost when you want those bricks visible again in order to check for any bricks that were added/changed/removed while you were out of scope.

The reason things add data to ram is because it can be accessed much faster then from the hard drive.

Still, your HDD is faster than your internet.

That's why you load it before you reach them, meaning that the client wont notice it so much.
