Raiders broke through my fence

[Mitocondrian]

I just set up my maze and got my logic running. I have my entire settlement fenced in. Not walls and got my first big raid. Some of them went to my maze and it was working but then a horde broke through the back of my base and killed a couple people. So far Ive seen raiders cant break fences but obviously I missed something. The next obvious step is to put walls but can they just break them too? If so I may need to completely redesign my base )=

Raiders will often take the shortest path, which can include breaking through your wall. I don't know how long of a maze is too long for them before they just break a wall instead

My YouTube research yielded that raiders wont break walls but I guess it was an older video. I saw something about raiders going for the rooms of the settlers as well. Do they have a specific target or just like the center of your base?

I had a small maze, only 3 fence gates deep, at the south end of my base and all of my settler rooms were at the north end with guard rooms by the end of the maze. Really just a big square.

It makes me think I need to make multiple entrances or just open pathways with no gates so I don't break the pathfinding.

Just speaking from my own experience, they seem to go straight for settlers

I have a maze, as well--just a hundred pressure plates connected to every trap I've encountered along a corridor. Somehow the whole shebang stopped triggering during a raid. How would this happen?

Naturally, the animal handler, explorer, and pirate died.

I put a trap maze in mine but after some experimenting i removed the doors and gates and made it an open path and it worked with no issues. I have my place surrounded by stone fence gates. This works for me without any issues. but if your at you settlement ive noticed that if ou stand at the end of the trap path the raiders path through it easier. Also I have my settlers restricted to only inside the fence gates.
