T2 is TGE, right?
If so, there is a similar game, Blockland, though it can be seen as kid-oriented where it is not mod-maker-oriented...
On the other hand, it has a custom octTree grid system that can support ~200000 objects(maybe with an extra 0?) and it seems more of an artificial limitation than an engine one.
The issue is that most of the players act like 5 year olds, some ARE, and some of the older people are real jerks. And it costs 20$. However, it can be installed for free, and played with a 150 brick limit on singleplayer, and only join-LAN-games for multiplayer as well, and with a cheat engine or sufficient mods, you can get around the limitations ;), and I could get you those mods or host a hamachi server.

Still, free is better in most cases(you can find an alpha of blockland that is 100% open-script(but the base engine is pre-compiled) and you could tolerate maybe a couple thousand objects without *impossible* lag).

Hamachi wont work.  Badspot blocked hamachi IP's from being used on blockland.  Not everyone is a douche, just alot of them.  Its either noobs or assholes, or a combo of both.

Just a thing of warning:  You will never be accepted on blockland, as people fear those with high ID's, and the threashold is far lower than the IDs that are out right now.
