How would diagonal edges behave if they border stone?
It would look nice if that results in half stone half concrete tiles.

How would Hazard Concrete look and behave?

I just changed the graphics, so it is the default behaviour of Factorio.

I totally forgot the Hazard Concrete. :o
Now, I am thinking how the edges of hazard concrete should look like. For normal concrete, I think it is like you dumped buckets of melted concrete and let it dry, so the edges are not straight. But for harzard concrete, I think straight edges are more suitable. What do you think? :P

That does look better than i thought. It's a slow field without tiles in reality though? So walking over that border would be noticeably slower than stone or concrete.

Hazard Concrete should defiantly have a straight diagonal. It may look odd to have the border run parallel to the stripes.

Walking over the boarder is slow because there is actually no stone or concrete on these grids. Think of placing 2x2 stone or concrete on the ground, the 4 edges will extend to the surrounding grids. With diagonal edges, they visually extend further, but it doesn't change the fact that the grids are still not covered by stone or concrete. You can consider covering these grids by stone or concrete, but it will change the position of the boarder.

OK, I will go for straight edges. ;)

Took me some time to figure out how to make it look not too ugly.
(Ignore the missing bits between grids, not finished yet.)

This starts to look so good I wouldn't be surprised to see it integrated in base.

To anyone who will try to create a custom tile and mess with the corner image:

It turns out the corner image is restricted to quite a small area. As you can see in the above image, I used a totally white image for the corner but only a small square is shown instead of a whole 1x1 white tile.
Now I have to redo all the edges because of the unexpected cropping effect on the corners. (cry)

As the result, no more thick shadow effect. Only a thin stroke is allowed:

Looks good but there should be no visible borders of the tiles because hazard areas are painted not tiled.

Did you mean the black borders or the lines between each tile?

I have toned down the darkness of the border and I am quite satisfied now :P

But the lines are in the default texture. I only changed the images of edges.

As long as you trust my drawing skill, why not? :lol:
Version 1.2.0 released!

Now there is config.lua to switch between irregular edges or straight edges. By default, it uses straight edges.
(Originally I wanted to use irregular edges by default, but I forgot to change it back after testing. I have to admit that straight edges look nice, so let's forget about it. 8-) )

Has .15 eliminated the need for this mod? or is this also going to be updated?
