+1 to tall grass, but when you pave something diagonally, the system doesnt know what kind of a road you are making.

If you are making a diagonal road across the desert, then dark lines outside would seem a bit strange.

Good idea, but dont know how it would work for all kind of diagonal roads.

I don't understand what you mean about dark lines silakka.  I'm talking about making it so the tile is "bent" in half along the line between the two points the paving is going between.

 

Think of it like a square piece of paper folded diagonally along the line where the pavement ends.

Now imagine it doing the same in a desert, where it clearly wont fit to flat terrain.

It would require a new seperate 'dark outline diagonal paving' specifically made for mountain roads.

Maybe you could try dig down that corner and see how that works, I did that.

All I'd like is the ability to use all types of paving for diagonal. My road through the forest is stone slab and I've had to use cobblestone for the diagonal paving *twitch*

I still don't really get what you mean by it not fitting to nonflat terrain.  The tile there isn't flat either, it's at a 12 slope diagonal.  Would you be able to draw what you mean for me?

 

What I'm saying is if the left point in my picture was lowered to where it is in the dark red outline by digging, the tile can use a line from the closest point in the picture to the farthest point in the picture (along the edge of the pavement).  The line would divide the tile into two planes of ground.  To the right of the line, the ground would be a triangular plane that connects the closest point, the farthest point, and the point on the right.  To the left of the line, the ground would go between the closest point, the farthest point, and the left point.

1) Add tall grass to the white outlined area

 

When you pave somewhere you have to have dirt underneath the paving so you can place. When you place a diagonal tile, the empty space you have is filled in with whatever is along the tile edges ... so it's normally dirt. When the neighbouring tile gets grass - the empty space will also get grass. If you sand the next door tile, the empty space gets sand. etc etc

 

This applies to each of the 2 sides of the tile that are not tiled - it's possible they are different materials in which case the empty space is split evenly between the 2 materials.

I know.  What I'm saying here is that tall grass grows up from grass tiles normally, but if you look in my pic, you can see that on diagonally-paved tiles the grass does not appear, creating a "sawtooth" effect of tall grass along the side of a road.

+1 to tall grass there.
