Tilk-HeroIt's possible. You don't need to change anything in game engine. All what you can do here - add a two new forms of walls.
Your actual form of building 1x1 walls by draging:
* * *
Horizontal: [] [] [] [] [] [] []
Vertical:
[]*
[]
[]*
[]
[]*
When you trying build diagonal, you take this:
[]*
[] *
[] *
[] [] [] [] [] [] []
Soooo.. we just need the 2 forms of triangle version of wall: /\ and \/.
* * *
In Horisontal it's will look like /\ /\ /\ /\ /\
And Vertical is same:
< *
<
< *
<
< *
So for make the diagonal wall, you just need to build the one line of first variand and second line of second variant. It's will look like this:
_
\ _\
\ _\
\ _\
\ _\
But on fact you will build 2x2 line vith ususal grid:
*[] []*
[] []
*[] []*
[] []
*[] []* -

Tilk-HeroIt's have a only one issue - vanilla game have 4 directions: left, right, up, dawn. This method still help to make +2 fake diagonal directions with 45°. But as visual it's still will be good, i think. Maybe will need a 2 new diagonal variants of gates (as diagonal it's can be 3x3, not 2x2 like vanilla).
P.S. Sorry for grammar errors, i tired and miss the buttons now. -

srs008okay, as much as i want this. i can see the issue. it's "not possible" because they'd have to recode the pathfinding to consider the gap as invalid.
in short. it'd be a big rework to do it, and worse, it'd make the game MUCH heavier on the processing of swarm movements.
quite happy to let this one slip through the cracks considering what the issues are.
