How does this tag work?  How can I make it use a specific set of pixels in the corners?  When I use it, it blurs up my texture real bad in the middles when it is 2x2 thick or more.

Is the tag I'm talking about, right now I have it set to Basic.

CornerFiller is the tag used by things such as walls, where the game needs to be able to 'merge' the texture of the wall and whatever it's touching together. It doesn't merge the textures all that well, but it gets the job done.

If you want any sort of coherent visual, you'll need to use Basic, and draw your texture _Atlas to match what you want.

Well, it would be impossible to draw the atlas the way I want, because you can't fill in corners in an atlas.  I tried.

Yes you can. Top right corner 64x64 section is what the game uses as the "center" piece for an at least 3x3 connected item. Other parts of the atlas are used for different sized connected items.

In my test, regardless of what size/shape the building was, all parts were filled in correctly when using my test atlas using the Basic link drawer.

I tried this once before, it didn't work out right.  Let me show you by re-drawing in that part with a new test atlas.

And here, you see the problem I am facing.  When I fixed those in the red circles, it created a new issue where the corner pieces no longer had the texture they were supposed to.
