you make defensive walls and they you can select would that be a gate
Sorry for "necroing" this thread... but I need to know: can you make the same thing with stone walls (e.g.: like a "stone gate")?

Ok, maybe a stone gate doesn't make much sense anyway... too heavy.

No but you can easily put a wooden gate in a stone wall, it looks cool
I'll try that, thanks. What I'm trying to achieve actually is a way for me to get in a secure base without letting my enemies (easily) follow. Don't know if that's possible.

Well the stone gate wouldn't be too heavy but wouldn't work with that wall design. It wouldn't hold enough if you would push hard to open it since nothing holds them well together it's just the weight of the stoned that allow the wall to be build that way.

I guess you could make a wall and then just make a small door way on crouch level with the stone wall and then put a wooden gate behind it.

The wooden gate (or any wooden structures) won't make it secure to mutants. Mutants smash right through them in seconds. If you want a secure base without using exploits, the best way IMO is to make a full rock wall around the base, make a zipline leading in (allows log transport) and a rope platform on the inside of the base to jump back out over your walls.

There's plenty of exploits you can use though if that's your thing.

Or just build on the water/island.

This seems like a nice solution... I'll have to find the right spot though.
Also, I don't like exploits, so I'll stick with this, thanks.

You've basically figured out my base, haven't you :P

Would this help at all?
