    Hello! So in my game, I need to be able to rotate terrain pieces based on the player input, but unfortunately terrain is not affected by the normal transform properties. What do I need to add to my script in order to make it actually rotate the terrain?

    Pretty sure Unity 
    Terrain
    does not pay attention to the .
    rotation
    or 
    .localScale
    fields of the 
    Transform
    component on its 
    GameObject
    .

    I speculate this is done for efficiency but I was not involved in any way.

    I just tested it and it doesn't work as you said. Even when the terrain is not marked as static.
    The only solution that I have is to rotate everything arround the terrain

    Well the only reason I wanted to rotate terrain specifically was because of grass. I could make slightly worse looking grass that is not a part of terrain and it would work
