The index value needs only be big enough to handle all defined terrain types. This is a low number so we can save memory by defining it as a byte. This particularly saves memory for the CustomTerrain field in the Map class, which defines a cell layer for the map using tile indexes, so we can reduce the size of that layer 4x as a result.
