The same goes for having large areas without texture/vegetation, and for flattened terrain. And if you have 20 holes punched into the terrain, the holemap compresses better when they are one big hole (all adjacent) rather than spread out as single individual small holes across the map. So, a holemap without any holes compresses better than one with holes. This means using as few unique values/patterns as possible, and having repeated data.
To counter this, make sure that your terrain (vegetation/texture/holemap/heightmap) is greatly compressable.
It fixes some issues, adds many new features and objects and in general is more forgiving than the vanilla editor.
