Module: PublicDependencyModuleNames.Add("OrbdaleTerrainEditor"); in an editor module’s Build.cs: an editor module, not in packaged games.
Stability: Stable: changes within a major version only add.
Thread: Game thread, editor only. (the rule of UOrbdaleTerrainEditorLibrary)
Blueprint: Start Tool, in Orbdale › Terrain › Editor

The tool starts on the level viewport's next tick. Leaving New this way makes no terrain: only its Create Terrain button (or NewTerrain) does.
