Feedback from @therahedwig:

When a wang tile transition won't draw because it is missing, could we maybe get some feedback about which one is missing? Like, in the overlay somehow?

missing_wang_tile_transition
Because I am puzzling which one is missing here(it tries to draw grass...)

Maybe @Bdtrotte could comment on the general possibility of this request. I think in general it isn't the case that there is a single Wang ID missing, but maybe this doesn't matter?

Well, the status bar tells us there is a wang tile missing in this situation.

@therahedwig Yes, but there can be multiple options, depending on the neighboring tiles. But I think it could render the colors of the first or last one it tried.

@bjorn If I remember correctly, that's not quite how it works: it checks all the surrounding tiles to build a desired wangId, then checks if it exists. You'd then have to go back through and change each corner/edge (probably with wild) and see if that exists. This could end up being non trivial, but I'm not sure...

Pretty scarce for time now, but I'll try to find some time to look at this and the other issues/improvements, and at least pitch in ideas
