Destroy buildings

[Hugh Jaynus]

Just thinking that since a repair tool has been added to the game, can't there also be a destroying tool with which we can bring down structures unwanted? In multiplayer the destroy tool could be used only by host or granted from him to connected, trusted players.

It could mimic a saw in shape and be built from stones, wood and bones.
Any further ideas are welcome

You can already destroy most structures. Which ones are you having trouble with?

[Hugh Jaynus]

How do you destroy them? I tried hacking and slashing through most buildings but never managed. Could you please tell me the correct procedure to bring down buildings such as traps or walls down?

Same prop how to Destroy buildings ?

[Kurogo]

First, check your settings to make sure IronForest mode (invincible buildings) isn't on. Then, hack away with any weapon ( I suggest modern axe, katana, or chainsaw). As it takes damage, the structure will distort and warp until it finally breaks apart.

Another fun way is to chop a tree down so that it falls on your strucure.

I'd agree that there should be a way of destroying/removing structures faster and more easily.
Maybe having something similar like the repair tool, some kind of "removal tool".

With that equipped, you see which part of the structure is selected and then hold button for a longer time to remove.
Especially if you're in creative mode it sometimes get's tedious to get the buildings right.
Having to chop down every wrongly built structure can take quite a while, so some sort of "remove tool" would be a nice to have.

Thank you for your help, however I would like to keep iron forest on (since i do not want to lose my fortress to a bunch of savages) yet I would like to remove my buildings. Therefore I would still like to suggest a tool for removal.
Cheers

I'd like such a tool just so that they could then remove player damage vs. structures. It's very annoying trying to fight enemies standing next to your structures without hitting the structure. Just another thing that makes it more beneficial to fight away from your base.

You can always toggle it on/off to destroy unwanted parts yet protect it from everything else.

This could work yes, but wouldn't you agree a specific tool for removing or destroying buildings could be useful?

I don't play IronForest mode, so I don't run into the same problem. Since you have to hit a structure with a repair tool to fix it, it would be consistent to expect that a dismantle tool would work the same way. In a case like this, you're essentially asking for a new tool to do something we already have tools to do simply because you don't want to turn an alternate setting back off.

Thank you !

Well I am typing in a suggestion forum, so I guess there is no harm in asking. You don't have to be so prickly about it

[Grandaddypurple]

The hole cutter will also destroy most structures, only the ceiling lamps and and the rock path will survive that (as well as custom foundations, custom floors and custom roofs where it'll just put a hole in it)

[This Could Be Us]

a tool that you can make that mimics the crowbar in Rainbow six siege (destroy barriers in like 3 secs)
