The artwork and terrain metadata must cover the combinations the map requires. [3]\n\nImagine painting a dirt path through grass and then widening a corner. Check straight sections, inner corners, outer corners, ends, and junctions that your chosen terrain mode actually needs. If an appropriate transition is missing, changing the brush cannot create its artwork. At runtime, `set_cells_terrain_connect` can also change neighboring cells to connect the requested terrain. Its documented contract requires all necessary terrain combinations for correct results.
