Auto-Terrain-Brick
Melting Plastic:
Someone should make a 16x16 terrain brick that has multiple hidden datablocks. When planted, the brick would search for surrounding terrain bricks and adjusts its shape to the adjacent brick. This way all you would have to do is get this "Auto-Terrain-Brick", turn Super-Shift on, and go to town while the bricks automatically change shape.

That'd be cool. But I think the problem with that is there could be multiple different kinds of terrain depending on adjacent blocks. So the only way to make this work would be to make it somewhat random, but hey then we'd have a new kind of random terrain generator

It would only adapt to other "Auto-Terrain" bricks.

It's certainly an interesting concept, though I'm not sure how 'hidden datablocks' would work
phflack:
there used to be an autoroad that did this
here's the code if anybody wants to adapt it for this
