Technically it's a pretty big change but hopefully you should not notice that much of a difference except some minor behavior changes to the hoe and pickaxe and of course much smoother loading of areas with a lot of terrain modifications," developer Iron Gate said in the patch notes. All terrain modification methods, whether that be using a hoe, pickaxe, or cultivator, will now make use of the new system.

Unraveling the curious history of videogame mazes and labyrinths
The history of mazes and labyrinths is a maze itself.
