Hi there, I’m checking the engine out for the first time, i’ve seen a lot of interesting things but I haven’t found an answer about auto tiles. Auto tiles, generally refers to a set of features where you can brush tiles in the tilemap and they do the job os being this tile or that tile on their own.

The engine doesn’t seem that have that, am I missing something, are there plans to add this feature?

Thanks, and great job guys!

Hi and welcome to the forum! The tilemap editor in Defold is pretty bare bones and doesn’t support autotiling, but [you can create your tilemap using Tiled](https://forum.defold.com/t/dont-forget-tiled-0-17-with-export-to-defold-tile-format/2650) and its [terrain tool](http://doc.mapeditor.org/manual/using-the-terrain-tool/), which if I’m reading the docs correctly is the same thing?
