Creating terrain in Blender

You might not have to shift anything at all, depends on how big your world is. And you might want to ask yourself why you want a big world, a lot of modern games just add a big world so that they can call it "open world". Sometimes a smaller world with more depth to it, a more interesting but also smaller world, can be better.

But I do like some big maps, if they're done right.

It doesn't necessarily have to be big. I just don't want to get across the world in a couple of minutes. And I want to implement vehicles so wanted a bit of open space to drive around.

Well, then. Step one would be to have as few straight roads as possible.

Is there a tutorial that I might of missed that explains how to make sections of a map that a character can place down building segments and snap them to each other? And for fires, a Chassis to add parts to etc.

I gave a suggestion on this in the other topic.

I'm not sure what that means. Perhaps you mean like create a fire place with a sort of a crafting/inventory system?

I've just seen your reply on the other topic. I didn't word it properly. I meant a car base. I think when the time comes I might add a model of the base of a car to the map and give it an inventory like a player with equippable slots but instead of armour equip tyres, engine etc. And add the parts to the car like adding armour on to a character model.

Just in case you might find it interesting I posted a simple terrain generating shader on blenderartists.org, this was just a quick prototype I made to try and remember my shader node-fu but also because I figured it might come in handy later. I'm working on a more expansive version now, but not decided if and how I'll share that one.

In the meanwhile though this one may be simple but should be baseline usable.
