Ways to reduce Zombie damage to player structures?

[Bane4U]

My friends and I have a gated community blocked off with log walls and large gates to let vehicles through but it seems like every other night 3-4 zombies pile up and destroy the gate while we sleep. I don’t want to disable zed damage because that would be boring but if there was a way to reduce the damage that would be great. We’ve done a bit of searching and haven’t found a way to do this whether via server settings or mods so any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Tried admin ability and edit item? i don't know wether that applies to gates, it applies to other stuff..? :)
We use a double gate system one gate and then another to pull in, we rarely get zombie attacks there :)

If you go to the server settings > Sanbox there is an option in the character tab called Player-Built Construction Strength. You can set that to very high to make the constructions way stronger

Wow I'm stupid for not seeing that. Thanks a ton!

This option does not help.
There should be value "unbreakable" (but zombies still should try to break it).
Also there should be two separate options for wood and metal constructions.

...the wall system is far from where it should be,but you have some funny options that can protect your walls,and some ordinary options.

The easist and most non-exploit one ,is to line your walls with cars,even the doors and gates,on the outside.Zoms currently wont attack the cars unless someones in them,and though they do push the cars,if placed right (agaisnt the wall on the outside) theres no where they can push them to.

The hardest and a bit exploity is the escher defense.Ive got way over 2.5k hours of play on this game,i use the escher alot,and i can only recall about 4 times ive seen zoms attack the escher,and never once they broke through

Another hard one,a bit exploity,but very funny is the herdle defense.In this you make a thick area of continuous fences and windows.Make the area at least 5 deep,the deeper the better.one server i played on once made the layer 20 deep,and zombies almost never manabed to get thru it to the walls... :) Zoms who enter the area tend to get confused and end up endlessly jumping over one fence,or thru one window,only at some point to reverse course and re-jump thru it.

Star,i think there is an unbreakable setting,in zombie lore...."damage constructions" i think turns on and off the zoms ability to damage player built.
