You need 2 Roblox accounts
First log into your game with 1 account and generate a huge amount of terrain after you have generated a huge amount of terrain then log in on your second account without logging out of your first account so that the server does not reset
If you use your slow phone as the second account it would be better
there must of been a problem with my scripts that prevented iphone from loading the terrain but i still think client sided terrain is better
On the client script there is a wait() after every chunk has loaded if you remove the wait then it will load faster
And when Roblox adds multi thread support it will get even faster but server sided terrain is always limited to how long it takes you to send all that data over the network
I personally care more about network performance and have never felt any performance degradation from generating the terrain on the client side
the noise function is not that hard for the CPU to compute
And the building of the terrain mesh has to be done on both server and client sided versions
So your sacrificing network performance in exchange for the math.noise function
but its upto you if you feel that server side is better then use it that way i personally think client side is better and ill keep using it that way
I am very, very interesting in using this plugin for a game I want to make. The plugin is extremely well thought out 
However, I wanted to have different āareasā or biomes(snow, grass, sea, artic) that each area could be different to each other. I found it impossible to do something like this. The only way I found away around it was to generate the biomes separately with different and then smooth the changes in the biomes. I did manage to do this on a small scale but since I wanted to have a big map I couldnāt find a way to do that efficiently.
The only other solution I had was to have biomes at different hieghts but that didnāt look that good as biomes started to forms āringsā around other biomes and I couldnāt directly control the biomes size.
Other than that this is an amazing plugin.
Take a look at this video
Every time I try loading terrain it deletes everything in the models folder. Why is it doing this?
The model folder inside of workspace is only temporary while the game is running there should only be the model folder in replicated storage
It is in replicated storage, but when I generate it gets deleted, and the output window says āModelName isnāt a valid member of TerrainModelsā.
Every time I try to download the plugin, I get this error message:
Iām gonna be honest, I have no clue what this error means
Anyone know of a way to fix this?
Thatās very strange because there is nothing in my code that deletes the terrainmodels folder in replicated storage one option is if you edit the sourcecode It has models spawning in there and you can see how I done it another option is to send some screenshots and I can try and see what is wrong in your project or you can also chat with me in discord
This error looks like itās a problem with Roblox not the plugin
Maybe if you Google the error it might give you some solutions
There are 2 ways to install the plugin
One way is to install it from the toolbox
Or a second way is to install it is from the download link on the first post
Do you get this error if you try installing both ways?
Yeah, Iāve tried installing it from the toolbox as well as the link, but both have the same error.
Maybe you should try making a new thread under bug reports or help
Not sure what happend, but I tried installing it again and it worked fine. Might have just been an internet problem.
This plugin is really great, however Iāve been running into some flickering issues that are most visible at the flat parts of a generated terrain. My settings are similar to that of the āArticā terrain youtube video, and this flickering effect seems to be most visible with ice and snow materials, however it still appears with grass materials.
The effect disappears if youāre close to it, but becomes really visible if you climb up on a mountain and look down.
Edit: Found the issue, it was the baseplate and itās default texture making the flickering in the terrain, my mistake.
How do you view the code for the server-side version? The provided link doesnāt allow editing. Iām trying to do something similar. What modifications to the script were needed to get it working server-side?
Though I wonder if you can have the best of both approaches. What if both the client and server dynamically generate the same terrain? That way whether a particular voxel is generated client-side first or server-side and streamed to the client, the client will always have whichever is generated fastest. This would also solve the server-side physics problem in a more general way than selectively generating areas in the studio.
I have a problem with spwaning models. Here what not working by me.

At 14:34 on this video I show you how to not spawn models under the water
I dont want to get them underwater. I want to get them out of the water. How can i do that? Thanks for reading
