I was bored so I decided to rebuild some of the community lots. I wanted to put a small crater in the Desert Bloom park for the kids spaceship to rest in, but when I went to check it on the map screen it's totally ugly and not worth proceeding with.

Hello.  I've been told this is by design.  Once terrain tools are used, the terrain paint for the lot will be emphasized on the map.

This does not only happen in Oasis Springs, it happens in all worlds. When using terrain tools the lot becomes the color of the terrain paint on the actual lot. Instead of using the color that integrates it into the rest of the map. It looks ugly
