Does Buldozer And Terrain Builder Require Steam Client To Be Running?

Terrain Builder does NOT require ArmA 3 or Steam Client to be running, you don't need to launch anything else other than TerrainBuilder.exe itself. By default C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Tools\TerrainBuilder\ is the steam ArmA 3 tools install dir for Terrain Builder.

However… Buldozer Requires Steam Client to be running.

Buldozer is basically ArmA 3 x64bit EXE program as explained in ArmA 3 Tools Buldozer page, so yeah it will require steam client running.

This is highly annoying because if you accidentally click buldozer icon in terrain builder, it will auto-launch steam client and then its not running so called normally, it tries to bring up some ArmA 3 launcher or whatever hideous things, this has only happened very few times for me so I don't remember.

Just make sure you have steam client running if you plan on using buldozer, if not, then do not accidentally click buldozer icon in terrain builder.
