at the title asks, will this return?
it had so much functionality, like placing textures by height, by water level, not to mention the terrain creation help.
I miss it.

A lot of that can be the resource Konrad did, which I believe has been incorporated into Beta2. What we have lost is basically auto-generation of terrain. I think for the most part, people are moving on to tools specifically designed for terrain generation.

Even L3DT's free version is going to produce much nicer higher resolution terrains than what the terraformer produced.

Edit: I will admit that it was nice to have such a quick method to generate terrain in game... but I wouldn't say it's of a quality that you're gonna want to release any more.

I'm more interested in the "place textures by" options.
I'll have a deeper look at Konrad's resource.

well indeed, that resource does have the functionality I need.
