From Dreams page note on creation limits
What was said about Dreams
Dreams caps player-made objects with a creation budget. Adding objects to a game can tank frame rate and exceed memory, so games that let players add things work within firm limits. Dreams handles this with a creation budget.
Other games constrain creation differently: Minecraft uses a voxel grid and Shadow Complex's foam gun works in two dimensions. Prey's Gloo blobs are physical and standable, which makes that case harder. Quote: "adding new things is something entirely more difficult."
The Genius of Prey's Gloo Cannon
It handles player-made objects by giving creators a fixed creation budget.
