The terraformer was removed from the list of craftable items so the devs don't expect you to use it on a normal play through, but it is still accessible via console commands. This is part of the issue. The other part of the problem is that, in order to prevent your PC/console from lagging into oblivion, the map isn't completely loaded in at all times, and despawns that which you cannot see anymore. Once you return to the spot that you terraformed at, it has reset due to being despawned and respawned, and it would seem that it resets every time.
