From what I remember hearing about the change, people were saying that it makes ground shaping in general require 4x as much material (or more). That means pre-patch, if I spent an hour gathering stone to do one project, I would have to spend 4+ hours instead, for the same project. That doesn't sound like a minor change to me.

It was a bug and it has been fixed.
Some people would complain if there was a bug that let you one shot every enemy and it got patched out as well, saying fixing it made the game more tedious since they actually have put some effort into anything, so what more can be said?
If you haven't ever played it then you won't miss it.
As for myself I hardly notice the change, it was minor.

Yep, they fixed something that wasn't intended in the first place. There's never been a need for excessive terraforming anyway.
