This video shows the use of a dual grid system for tiles
My question is, what ways are there to implement this with multiple kinds of tiles?
The only two that come to mind are either make a new layer for each type of block, which seems computationally intensive
or
making alternative tiles for every combination of blocks, which seems tedious

Draw fewer tiles - by using a Dual-Grid system!

I’ve spent a LOT of time drawing tiles! So when I came across this alternative approach to auto-tiling that requires fewer tiles, I knew I had to give it a go. This video is all about the “Dual-Grid System” (first proposed by Oskar Stalberg), and how I implemented it in Godot. Unlike most other tilesets, it also allows for equally rounded ...

Thanks for reminding me!

#

By the way, I would assume you need to draw out every possible combination of tiles.

#

I don’t see why you would need a shit ton of layers

#

And even if you are gonna use a shit ton of layers

#

You still need the tile combinations

but it seems expensive

Fair

#

But yeah you would need a shit ton of layers

#

Depending on how many tiles you wanna use

I am currently working on a farm

#

So for turning grass into soil it’s great

#

Hoe many variations are you gonna need?

I'm looking at alternative tile systems I could use

#

I've got my eyes on the 47 piece, but I'm hoping to find a different one and convert it to 47

Worst case scenario I'll have to code a converter to turn 15 piece tilesets to 47 piece tilesets
