Changing a broken prefabs terrain material

Question

I'm starting to try to use prefabs and I have a problem. My prefab has a terrain in it with a simple texture. I can't seem to get only one individual instance of the prefab to change its texture to something unique. I broke the prefab instance but the texture still applies to all instances. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

If I understand correctly,

It may not be the prefab or texture, but the material your object is using.

If two objects share a material, when you change the texture on the first object, the second object's texture will change as well. You might just have to make separate materials for your separate objects. :)

I'm using the Terrain (Script) that seems be the default component for editing terrain. That looks like it directly accesses the textures. I'm not explicitly using any materials right now, do the components use them in the background?

Ins$$anonymous$$d of the Terrain(Script), look at the Terrain Collider // Terrain Data field. Do the terrains and behaviour you are desribing share the same value in the Terrain Data field

Ahhhh I haven't used a Terrain(Script) in a while. Sorry about my answer.

What exactly is your goal with Terrains?

Terrains are stored differently from other objects. Its instances can't be edited individually.

If you wanna have multiple terrains, you'll probably have to go create a whole new one from the GameObject menu.

Creating multiple terrains worked. I didn't think that far outside of the box :) Thanks for the help!
