Easter Egg
Can we just talk about the paths for a minute?
So the floors are made of squares right, and there's whole square items or half square items.
But the paths don't ever touch each other? How is there a space between them if the paths take up a whole square? Unless someone can find a screenshot where different paths touch, because I can't. Can we not have paths touch?

But if you put a grid, it looks like it can fill like 75% of the square. Or you can put two different paths in the same square? or half paths?

Am I just not understanding this correctly? lol
 
I think they don‘t fill up an entire square unless you connect them. You can see that on the stone path leading to that ramp - in doesn’t completely fill the space that the ramp takes.
 
I think there is a space because they added a shadowed edge to help their patterns and custom patterns blend into the grass.
 
The crafting menu has shown placeable items can take up 0.5 of a tile space, so I imagine paths can do the same thing- probably the edge of path tiles specifically as the 'middle' ones like in the sand playground seem to fill the whole tile.
