Outside Ray Blocking Tile?
The section about Outside vs Inside says that "Almost any kind of geometry will block the outside ray". Is the "Almost" just to cover the original writer's proverbial backside, or are there known tiles which do not block the outside ray? Obviously empty space doesn't block the ray... but that's a given.
Further, the forums seem to resolve that all tiles block the ray (forum post by Miuramir). If a non-blocking tile exists, it should be here. I'd add it if I knew. 174.22.47.63 03:02, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
