Opinion on half plate filling half-tile?
We all had our moc-ing problem of buidling something and finding a half-plate wide gap that just can't be filled nicely. So you either live with the visual gap or completely redesign the build and find a gap-less connection.
I understand half-plates would be too fragile to produce, Lego already has a problem of 1x1 round plates and cheese slopes cracking because their wall is too thin.
But what if we would have a piece that wouldn't be stressed, that's entire purpose is nothing but filling in visual gaps?
I thought maybe we could have a piece similar to the Minifigure Neck Bracket, but just the top part. I would call this piece a half-tile. It basically turns a regular stud into a tile (not counting the lego logo)
Would you welcome a piece like this or do you think its dumb and has too few uses?
And maybe lego should instead just make a 1,5 plate high modified plate, the same way for some reason they made a 2 plate high modified brick.
