What has happened to the electric fence?

[Whorable]

So cannibals and mutants seems to be running into the electric fence, but only gets stung once, and the electric fence breaks (the wire around it)

and the spike stick walls we've built seems to be not doing anything, the enemies just seems to walk over them like nothing has happened.

And the mutants are now 10x times tougher.
Why has this game gone from really fun to really drop dead annoying?

The electric fence was nerfed in 1.0 so that if an enemy bumps into an electric fence 6 times it will break the fence, but drop wire. Use backup wires on electric fences to keep your fences effective and when wires break check the ground for dropped wire.

Just use the surprise traps, the flyswatters. Build a solid stone wall, and then chop out a single line of stone at either the 2nd or 3rd row up from the bottom.

If you do it right you can stand behind the stone wall, and still see the prompt to reset the flyswatters. You can reset the surprise trap over and over and over. Pretty much as soon as it goes off you can reset it. Those things are brutal. I can turn entire attacks into nothing but a bunch of random body parts. Step out and loot all the zippered pouches and other loot that gets dropped when they die.

Layered traps is the solution. I use a variety so that the baddies get bounced, swatted, poked, slammed, roasted, and sliced. It's lots of fun for the entire family!

BTW, I used to love electric fences, but they nerfed them way too much so I don't waste time with them anymore.

the bad part about it is that the despawn is in like 5 seconds.

Y'all have to check again then cause I've repaired the fence with new set of wires everytime cause the copper wire is gone in like 5 seconds.
