If this is a repeat thread please let me know and point me in the right direction.

How does Astroneer do terrain generation? I've heard they use marching cubes, but when I go to find out more on Reddit or some other forum site, someone always corrects it to Dual Contouring. Does anyone know exactly what they use? I am trying to make a lowpoly terrain system, any my marching cubes aren't turning out great, so I thought I would see what Astroneer uses.

Terrain is intended to have many uses in Astroneer, both functional and aesthetic: Using the flatten mode of the Terrain Tool, the player can easily build ramps down or up to get to hard to reach areas. Flatten mode can also be used to build bridges over large gaps in the terrain.
