 		Node for 2D tile-based maps. Tilemaps use a [TileSet] which contain a list of tiles which are used to create grid-based maps. A TileMap may have several layers, layouting tiles on top of each other.
-		For performance reasons, all TileMap updates are batched at the end of a frame. Notably, this means that scene tiles from a [TileSetScenesCollectionSource] may be initialized after their parent.
+		For performance reasons, all TileMap updates are batched at the end of a frame. Notably, this means that scene tiles from a [TileSetScenesCollectionSource] may be initialized after their parent. This is only queued when inside the scene tree.
 		To force an update earlier on, call [method update_internals].
