All you need to do is bring up the map by pressing the '-' button, where you'll see a list of options in the bottom left corner. Press the '+' button to Reset Terrain, and you'll be given a further prompt. Select 'Reset it all!' to confirm and you'll reset the map entirely.

Why would I need to reset terrain?

The big reason is you may have destroyed way too much and not be able to progress, or grab a Banandium Gem, without having some kind of firm ground in front of you.

For the more creative, you might be trying to make something and may have taken out too much terrain. Both of these situations are only fixable by resetting terrain.

What does resetting terrain do?
