Jail doors are gone... WHY ???

[nfa-4]

If the devs see this, I have a question : why did you remove jail doors ? It was very useful and awesome and now it's gone...
Honestly it makes me want to stop playing, because what I loved in this game was building cool bases but since alpha 17 this aspect of the game is ruined.

They'll be rebalancing stuff for crafters and builders in A17.1.

So no kool bases without jail-doors??

- even Picasso had a "blue period" where he focused on one thing. But jail-doors as only solid factor for basebuilds is a new level

But. there was a fairly good reason they were removed. Tbh, I dont recall why. Think it was lag-issues or something.
But they have a guy on doors/electrics afaik, and the doors havnt been ditched from the engine

Oh ok, so once they are able to fix it they will put it back in the game ? Nice :)

Well without them, bases are way less cool in my opinion because you can't have a "portcullis" so that you can shoot through it during blood moon, you're forced to shoot at zombies from above your wall.

Anyway, I think I will wait until the next update to see if they put it back

I like jail-doors. theyre superkool.

but they are by no means needed, or even good

use halfblocks, arrowslits, or full block-opening, use Ironbars+vaultdoors. use one of the other kool blocks you can craft if its the utility you miss

a good spaced opening the zombies cant get throug(spiders can) is block+plate(flipped down)+halfblock(flipped up), supported on the sides or flow-glitched if thats your thing - you can crouchjump , and shoot/use throwables thoug it from either side, and make multible layers so you can fall back as the chaos evolve. can also be used as perimeter fence

I liked jail doors in my bases. Like the OP, I build a lot. Jail doors made great entrances, behind drawbridges. I'd like a single jail door, like an iron gate.

I agree. Let's bring back the jail doors ASAP. They were super cool and are way better than the simple vault door and the weak garage doors. I wonder if we could ever see the addition of a sliding gate entry door. Would be great for outdoor walls!!

Bring back jail doors.
