Corner and quarter armor block shapes needed

When doing base construction using the square half armor blocks, I find that I am needing to use a square full armor block for the corners.

An L corner shape or a quarter square rectangle could both be used to fill in the corner, but neither currently exist in the block shapes. I also didn't see an L block with a slope in the gap, which would also have worked.

You can use the 0.5 m blocks to make an L-shaped 2.5 m block. Make it a blueprint, and you can place it as a whole item.

With the 0.25 m grid system you can now actually create all kinds of 2.5 m block shapes by just combining the smaller blocks.

There is also a request for half sized blocks in another topic, which is already quite popular:

A half armor block plus two half size cubes would give the desired shape without introducing an extra L-shape. I suggest supporting that proposal, as it seems really well thought out.
