Should there be some terraforming in game and a terraforming gun?

This new tool won't be able to go down to the center of the planet and will abide by the rules of physics but with enough foundation underneath of it you can make some wonderful locations, possibly take from one place and put it somewhere else.
NEW
An invisible wall set in about a foot or two everywhere where there is terrain to allow you to dig until you hit that wall and a second wall on the outside so than when adding you can only go out a few feet as well.

As far as I know, the main reason terraforming was put in a bin, was because of the incredible amounts of issues it can cause. Changing the distance of which you can go down with it won't change too much. If it is ever implemented back into the main game it will most likely be later when a fix or work-around is created.

I've never felt a need to be able to modify subnautica's terrain. It's just never felt like a necessary element of gameplay.

In Creative, it could be oodles of fun. Maybe lock it to Creative mode, otherwise you have to spawn it in with a console command, once they figure out how to make the terrain more optimized.

Got rid of it, good riddance, please let it stay dead.

Make it a portal gun instead.

There used to be terraforming, but while you were able to do a whole lot, problems included: massive memory usage (a new copy of the world had to be made to incorporate your change, and every subsequent one), low performance, game breaking (why not dig a hole to the bottom with air pipes). So for all of those reasons it had to be cut.

How about an inner limit layer to limit how much could be taken away it would be unseen to the player and the spot you were getting rid of would stop, the same for adding material an invisible wall so that the player could only extend it so far, the wall would be invisible and set to look like the map. @Jcking
