I forgot about that one, and apologize for my rudeness ,and this idea will be thrown away if no one else can prove otherwise it's useful. Although, you still need to ghost bricks.

Paged geometry is possible, however it is non-trivial to implement. The method used to transmit brick data would have to be changed significantly. This may happen at some point in the future but don't hold your breath.

I have not misunderstood you at all, you're just persisting in pushing this terrible idea and ignoring all the points I make trying to show you how bad it is. Caching networked data is totally counterproductive because you then have to check with the server to see how much of that cache is outdated next time you want to use it.

This. Just understand it.

The only thing that could be critical with bricks is when they change form, like color, colorFX and shapeFX. Although, as I thought I said, bricks you see is not critical, and when you suddenly reach those bricks that is cached, it will first take them out from the cache, then update as usual(Have you ever first seen brick ghosting, leaving for about 10000 TGE units and then come back to see that there is more bricks someone have placed while you was away?), and then it's done.(And about 10 more thing in between that, but we really don't have to go that detailed...)

Lol lets see you say that when you walk into a brick you just deleted.
