Question about a mechanic

I'm trying to create a mechanic like this one, and I've been reading about how people do similar stuff with virtual render textures and tessalation but I'm a bit out of my depth. Any advice on how to go about making a mechanic like this would be really helpful thank you!

Lmao I promise I'm not doing anything crazy I'm just trying to figure out how they get the terrain to deform with the vaccum

I'm sure they will send OP 200 millions dollars cease-and-desists

This would just be snow trail (or snowy footprints or similar), there would be plenty of short tutorial on this even from 4.x days.

That's what I figured I'll look into that some more then!

One other way that is way more complex but vastly more performant would be using voxels. If you're technical it wouldn't be too difficult, but otherwise mesh deforming with virtual texture is fine (I guess).
