Description

Quick question. In my output I see something like that:

[4d 0h 45m 13.147999999986496s]  84.3499% 216.89m/257.14m @  275/s | ✓ 216.89m □ 100.78m | 1d 16h 40m 8s left

So there are 100.78m tiles skipped. But what does that mean? Were there error generating those (if so... any change I can see what those are)? Is it save to use the resulting tileset? Or will there be missing things? Or is this just something like "There is no data here... e.g. sea"?!?

Couldn't find a README for that...

Research direction

Start with the displayed tile-generation output and trace how the skipped-tile count and □ marker are produced. Document what skipped tiles represent, whether they indicate errors or expected empty areas, and how users can identify them; the result should answer the questions raised in the issue and provide the missing README guidance.
