This probably has been discussed here before, so pardon me .....but I
haven't been around here that long. Why is there a limit of 62 terrain
texture choices? Can the browser not handle more? If you own multiple
worlds with different themes, but only one path, it's very difficult to be
creative with those limitations. Any chance that number will be increased in
the near future??

1 byte - 8 bits, 256 combinations.

rotation = 4 combinations, 2 bits required.

00
01
10
11

Now 6 bits remain for texture, 'hole' uses 1, so thats 63 remaining. Dunno
about the last one.

Thanks for explaining :) It's still a bit restrictive, but at least I
understand the reason!

Solutions simple, you dump an extra byte on the end up with over 2000
terrains.
