i remember someones calculations on this forum that for everyone on every data center to have 3 large houses worth of placed items (XYZ coordinate, type of item and color) it would take around 1.5 TB of storage. Even if it's more then that, with current tech it's somewhat achievable for a normal person, let alone a game studio like square. Now to have server processing power, to have as much of those items displayed for as many people as possible, that's the tricky and expensive part
