Ok, so I know I’m still pretty new to all this, but I just can’t get this to work correctly. I have a pretty awesome tileset I’m looking to use, but because the 'bottom’s of the cliffs have multiple tiles that can stack to make higher cliffs, I can’t seem to get it to work with the terrain mapping tool correctly after many many hours of trying. Anyone here willing to take a look and maybe lead me down the right path? I’m wondering if I need to start learning the auto-mapping tool as well due to this set’s complexity. This is 32x32 in case anyone checks it out. Thanks!

(I’ve removed most details from the tileset due to licensing)

Terrains cannot handle cliffs like this. You can use Terrains to paint the cliff-tops, and then add the cliff-sides manually (possibly with help from a separate Terrain) or use Automapping to add the cliff-sides. The Automapping documentation even covers such a scenario.
