TerraScape: Every Merged Building And How To Make Them

Merged buildings are a huge part of the strategy behind TerraScape. By placing smaller buildings in just the right configuration, you can combine them into larger structures. These, in turn, offer higher potential scores for later placements, and can also change the surrounding map to make construction easier as you expand.
