For an initial PoC the SurfaceTool seems the way to go: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/3d/procedural_geometry/surfacetool.html#doc-surfacetool

Our first successful code:

Some exercises i am thinking on:

• Create an infinite line of mesh using a Path. But only display the meshes that you can see, using LOD techniques or culling or clipping. So we understand all these concepts with some deep.
• We can also play with procedural textures to make the way more interesting

Interesting attempt to generate voxels using ArrayMesh: https://godotengine.org/qa/74644/how-to-generate-a-cube-mesh

And the process of modifying vertex in complex meshes: https://godotforums.org/d/22837-how-to-efficiently-change-a-few-vertices-in-a-big-mesh

Using MultiMesh is pretty simple and you can add collision shapes also to the meshes generated following advices like this one creating a single StaticBody with several collision shapes, one per each mesh generated.

Wow, the results start to be significant:

The base map with 1024 spheres is generated using a MultiMesh. Collision shapes are added to all the spheres using gdscript. The balls are generated also using gdscript. And the evolution of this scene is pretty interesting in possibilities. Few code, few nodes, great results. Godot is so rewarding!
