How do i make the hexagons slot together?

[vagrant igloo]

I’m creating a hexagonal voxel-style plot system for a farming/life-sim game. Each player’s plot is made up of hex tiles (like small terrain blocks), which can represent grass, water, or other features. I’ve also tried to implement Perlin-noise-based elevation to make the terrain look natural, so some tiles are raised. My goal is for the tiles to seamlessly slot together in a honeycomb pattern. Because the layout is generated procedurally with Perlin noise, I can’t manually position each tile. I’m fairly new to scripting and have been troubleshooting this for a while, but I’m stuck on getting the hex spacing and offsets correct. I manually made a small model to show what it should look like. Any help is appreciated.

Do the plots have an intended finite size

If so just make one piece, use ReDupe to extend it, and use perlin noise just for the elevations

ok thank you! i will try that out.

ReDupe looks really useful for quickly filling space with repeated objects, and I see why you suggested it. I forgot to mention this but the issue for my project is that each hex tile needs its own unique data — like a name, elevation/tier, whether or not it's water (future addition once i get this settled), ObjectType flags, and a reference in my islandData table. If I used ReDupe, it would duplicate the models visually, but none of the per-tile data would exist automatically, so I’d have to manually assign all of that afterward, which would defeat the purpose of procedural generation.
What I really need is a way to spawn tiles automatically via a script, so each tile gets positioned, named, and added to islandData at the same time. Thank you so much though!
