Are you just wondering how to make it look like the player is on solid ground, instead of a flying platform?

You could just use blocks that don’t have physics activated or objects with physicas activate when in-view, and disabled when out view.

Oh, ok, sorry.

Here:

This behavior can be used to activate/deactivate an object’s physics.

This behavior is used to trigger whenever an object comes into a certain distance from the object housing this behavior. I think the distance is the screen distance.

This should work to activate/deactivate physics while in/out of view, therefore reducing lag, which will allow you to place more objects.

Then, if you want to go really far, you can use a tilemap system. This will allow you to curve the edges of block clusters. Example:

You might want to follow a consistent block altitude to help with this.
