Overview
Generates a standard autotile arrangement (Wang16 / Blob47) as a tile set and matching rules in one step. Start here when learning rule tiles. Placeholder images work too, so you can test the mechanism before replacing the artwork.
Usage tips
- The shortest beginner route is rule_set_preset →
rule_canvas. Even without an image input, placeholder tiles demonstrate the behavior. Wang16considers only up/down/left/right and is simple.Blob47also distinguishes inner corners for cleaner results. In practice, create its 47 tile images withautotile_from_parts/autotile_from_template.- When you need custom rules, import the preset into
rule_set_editorand extend it.

What this node does
Generates standard autotile arrangements as presets. When a tile-image list is
connected, it builds from those images; otherwise it uses placeholders for testing.
It outputs both the tile set and the corresponding neighborhood rules (RuleSet).
