You can see that the square base is connected to the octagonal tower using alternating trapezoids and triangles; FreeCAD doesn't seem capable of doing that using the GUI (but I'm no expert and would love to be proved wrong).
Yes that would have worked, I will try that next time. The last image is more or less what the Python code produced, but being able to do it in the GUI would be nice.

This is what the other person was trying to describe: https://imgur.com/a/J9lQBNK
I chose 1mm for my corner chamfer on the base, but you could make it any dimension including something imperceptible.
Aah thank you!!!
