		+
		+	So if you've read through all the documentation on Auto-Tile you might have noticed that I haven't covered lookFromOverride. And there's a simple reason for that. I can't figure out how it works or when I'd ever need it. I've talked to the devs about how it works, mulled it over for months now, and I still can't think of a situation where I'd ever have to use the thing, or even how to really set up an auto-tile to see if it's working properly.
		+
		+	The game never uses LFO. Not once. There's not a single example of it in use that I could find.
		+
		+	How it was explained to me is: Say you have a torch. In most cases you want it to stick to a wall. But if it's next to a pillar you want it to do this other thing and not even bother checking other stuff.
		+
		+	This baffles the heck out of me because you can do that by just putting your pillar specific exception at the very end of your autoTile logic and it will override any other option if it's valid.
		+
		+	So: know that it exists and that it's there if you manage to get yourself into some really insane situation, but proper auto tile organization should solve this issue for you 99.99% of the time. I'm sure it might save someone's bacon someday...but I have yet to puzzle out how.

 So that didn't work. And it's still not working on all four sides, either. Biscuits.
-So, I'm not ashamed to admit this one took me a while. If you've already seen what the problem is, congratulations. You've successfully internalized the rotation scheme better than I ever will. If you haven't seen it yet, take some time to think about it. Hypotheize. Test a few theories. You'll learn the lesson better than me just telling you. I'm going to have a cookie while I wait.

 We forgot to rotate the 3x3 result grid when we changed the face rotation. So "left" switched places with "back" and "right" switched places with "front", essentially.
