I don't know which displacements you are talking about, but all of the underlying faces are all rectangular. Hammre can't do displacements on non-quad surfaces. Other parts of the brush can be triangles, but the surface the displacement is on has to have 4 sides.

When I was making it, I planned out 90% of it with brushes beforehand, then turned all the planned faces into displacements, then applied a massive subdivide (smooth) to all of it and cleaned up the resulting mesh by hand. The other 10% that I didnt plan out beforehand were the holes in the displacements for the tunnels and so forth, and some of the connections in the very middle. In hindsight I think that was a mistake since the time I spent on those parts was far more than if I had just planned for in in the beginning.
