By default, the game uses the size of the terrain to define the size of the internal culling structures. Every object that is outside the culling structure will not show up properly anymore in all cases.
The zxOffset defines, how much further out the culling structure should extend. So basically this should match with how far the furthest objects you have, like map boundary rocks or trees.

A zxOffset value of 100 means, that objects can be up to 100 meters away from the terrain to be properly visible.

This value should be chosen to be as small as possible (and as big as necessary) to avoid wasting performance/memory.
