Stone building is pointless
Just wanting to see if anyone shares these similair problems with building..

Ive been playing this game hard in the beginning, and dropped off after getting bored due to lack of materials. Now, when the stone building update came into effect i was really amped up to start building some nice solid structures and walls, fortified with stone..

..just 2 days into my builds i found the enemies were clipping through the stone structures and appearing in my base, one-shotting me from behind when i save or load up the game. I did some real P.I. investigating stuff, and it appears their doing a vault animation, which allows them to clip through stone walls.. So im curious, whats the point of even using stone?This, coupled with the log snaps not being true 90 on different elevations and log placements have a mind of their own, it has really ruined the entire experiance for me/

Having a love for building as an architect i have little reason to come back until these issues can be resolved. Really really want them to fix these issues, because i did really enjoy this game(

I have the same problem. The spawning in the base is really getting old. really old.
I'm just going to keep playing but i've turned structure damage to off. And trust me I hate that i've turn it off but until they fix the problem I dont know what else to do. I play solo so its rough when u spend 12 hours on a build just to have the enemies glitch through all the defence's. Just wanted to let you know I'm in the same boat as u. I'm almost 600 hours into this game and my faith in it being fixed is still strong.

Work in progress, current plan is to make this as high as possible.

As you can see "windows" are possible , as are doors.

I haven't experienced enemies glitching into my base's. Some do get in but it's only a very small percentage. Maybe it's the location of the base? I've played the last 5 games on the beach and only a few of the puffy mutants have ever gotten in. I've played over 700 hours.
It also takes quite a while to build the walls too is another issue.

I just like the way it looks like rock.
since I play on realistic mode. wall health and how long it takes to build doesn't matter lol

try using the custom game options if you don't like the default settings they've chosen for the early access. I assume that's why they've added those options
