I don't understand how I'm supposed to use this pack in unity. I've tried using the automatic slicing but each tile is something like 146x147 or similarly off by one pixel in one dimension.

Hey! The automatic slicing in Unity can be tricky when tiles aren't perfectly uniform in size. Here's how to fix it:
1️⃣ Use Manual or Grid By Cell Size instead of Automatic
In the Sprite Editor, go to Slice → Type and select "Grid By Cell Size", then enter the tile size manually (e.g. 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 — depending on the pack). Automatic slicing reads pixel content and can end up with those off-by-one results you're seeing.
2️⃣ Make sure Compression is set to None
Go to the texture import settings and set:
• Compression: None
• Filter Mode: Point (no filter)
• Format: RGBA 32 bit
This prevents Unity from slightly altering the pixel dimensions internally.
3️⃣ Check the Pixels Per Unit value
Set it to match your tile size (e.g. if tiles are 32x32, set PPU to 32). This keeps everything aligned on the grid in-engine.
If after trying this it's still not working as expected, don't worry — I'm happy to help you get a refund, no questions asked. Just let me know!
Since even the spacing between the tiles is uneven Grid by Cell Size is not an option as it would cut up the tiles at random places. I've realized that there is an enormous amount of manual work needed to get these tiles in a workable shape, since I literally have to cut out each tile and put them in a proper tilesheet myself.
I think putting more thought into the usability of the tiles would up the quality of these sets but I'm not going to refund it since I really like the aesthetics, and will make it work one way or the other.
Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your honest feedback — it truly helps me improve my work. I completely understand your concerns and I'll definitely take them into account for future updates and releases. I really appreciate your patience and I'm glad you're enjoying the aesthetics! 🙏
