Defensive walls...
Unless i am missing something, i am surprised you need to build defensive walls 1 log at the time, place, cut the point, next...
compared to the first game where you could "draw" the walls, this has became such a tedious job to do now, and i cant blueprint it either to let our buddy help in the process.
can we please get a QoL improvement here, or am i clearly overlooking something here?

its more realistic now, but not everyone likes this new "feature" for making fires this is actually really cool but for building larger structures it just so painful.

yea exactly; for the small things it was not a big issue and i kind of like it; but once you want to make a bit of a more decent base with a wall around it... it becomes a big chore

I guess they want to cater to ppl like me and other true survival game enthusiasts, not casuals...

took me roughly 2 hours for a small defensive wall roughly 60 logs i went to one of the offshore island to have a good time without the cannibals but they also spawned on the smaller island, which is kinda unrealistic they attacked me with the leader(mask guy) and he send 2 of the red fat belly warriors and took down the wall quite fast.

I get your point, from my understanding you could try and collect as many logs as possible and get Kelvin to help with the build, I tend to have him build one of the log cabins while I focus on the defensive wall. It's tricky though, but definitely a chore to some degree for those who prefer it more simple.

I find the new system much better you are not locked into prefab builds. its easy to tell when its a straight wall there will be dashed lines.

I like it personally. I get why others don't but it's kinda nice to carve the pieces of wood yourself.

perfect for firearms, without exposing yourself, but they need to improve the digging so we can make panji traps.

I like it...but they should add blueprints for people who dont like it.

its not that i dont like it; i would just like a bit more QoL here; e.g. draw the wall in some ghost mode (like we could in The fortest 1? ) so i can order kevin to help build the damn thing

Is there some trick I'm missing? the book says you can make a door in the defensive walls but I can't get it to work? Anyone got an idea?

Yeah, no. Was just a poor decision on their part. No real reason to remove the ability to set up a "ghost" wall. Be it a wall for a room or a defensive wall, while also giving you the ability to plant single logs at a time and link them into already placed pieces.

I believe the book said you can make doors in just "walls", not defensive walls unless I glanced over something (The defensive wall actually has an extra step that I don't think you can do right now with a sideways log on the wall itself). What I did was build my defensive wall to generally where I want the door to be, put down sideways wall to build that up, cut out the door, and then make sure the wall is closed up right next to it, which can be a little wonky because the "snap" feature for the door wall kinda messes with the snap of the defensive wall.

I acutally like that you need to do everything single handedly, but... guy's i won't create new topic for that, in short, i have problem with placing floors on building, am i suppose to build foundation or something, because the terrain won't let me place any floors.

Oh I see. Thanks for the tip! o7
