Every time I pick a ground texture, I get quite worried due to not knowing what textures come with the game.
I've wondered for a long time but never asked, can I use the ground textures that had to be installed with other's maps? And if so, do I need to give credit? And who should I give credit to as I don't know(Or forgot) who created the ground textures that I had to install with other maps.

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

Hmm, I would say it is ALWAYS a good idea to credit the person who originally made the textures if you use non-FeralHeart textures that came with the map you had downloaded. But if you want to be extra safe, I would probably suggest asking permission from the person who made the map that came with said textures. As for if you don't remember who it is that made it, you could always state that you did not make the texture and that in my opinion is fair enough, being an artist myself I am iffy about people using my stuff without permission and I would want them to at least credit me or say it is not their own creation. Hope this helped! :3

Thank you! I don't know the name of the creators of any of the textures I see in the ingame list of ground textures(Unless the name is on the name of the ground texture), so I'll just say that I didn't create the ground texture, Unless I manage to create a seamless texture.
