Does anyone know about the terraforming limits in Zindra? I just saw something that makes it look like they may be much more generous than normal mainland ... maybe +/-16m?. (or more!).

Mine is +/- 4m..

It was orginally 100m when zindra first opened but they toned it down pretty quickly...

The people with parcels in Zindra I've asked say it's just as most other mainland. Terraforming is +-4mts.

My guess then is that they forgot to limit it in the new areas.

Note that the city sims on Zindra are no-terraform (also no-subdivide/no-join). It's kind of weird because some of them are huge, and some are not double-prim.

It's meant to be 0 in the city sims and +/-4 everywhere else.

They should make a zone of sims with the land at 20.1m (i.e. just above Linden water) and terraforming +/-20m.
That would alow people to have as much land/water as they wanted.

Depending on parcels sizes and neighbourhood cooperation, that could lead to wonderful or awful.
I've got two small +/-40m parcels in Shipley.
In general, it works out ok, but in that sim and some of the sims around, people sometimes terraform just because they can.

Right now, I'd like to be able to terraform a huge ridge between my parcel and the place to the North. The bastards have put up ban lines!!
Shop up in the air. Beach for own use on the ground - and F eveyone else!.
I'll have to build a high wall stretching out into the sea. I hate to be *that* creative.
FFS!! I built up mostly big parcels so that ban lines couldn't have much effect on me and visitors. I only had 5k of Adult to swap into Zindra. I should have swapped the whole 1/2 sim collection.
