Stranded Deep
Tarp walls are silly. Why design it this way?
For one, the tarp wall icon shows a full blown tarp with metal eyelets, while just being a strewn piece of cloth.

But my main issue... you build this thing, and it just falls off its hook, and floats there...

I've built it like 6 times now, and every time, the right hand side hook just falls off. It's so pointless.

:shockedbs:

This came in one of the updates. The previous tarp wall had all corners fixed. I liked that one, the current one, not at all!

Go to your profile page then select Screenshots on the right to open up your screenshots page.
Look for the screenshot you want then left-click it once so it opens in a smaller separate window. (like in the above image)
Right-click the highlighted URL at the top of the new window and select 'copy' (I find sometimes I have to left-click and drag across the URL to highlight it for some strange reason first).

In your clipboard now you will have an URL that if you paste should start with:

Make sure it does not start with this:

That should give you a nice clickable preview picture in your forum post, it also works for artwork etc. too.

Hope that helps, not always great at explaining things so if anything is confusing let me know and I will try and help. :)

So is it safe to say an update broke the tarp walls?

Probably safer to say an update changed the way it looks, not sure how it is broken? Unless of course it no longer counts/works as a wall panel, albeit not an entirely aesthetically pleasing one for everyone.

Did you look at OP's screenshot? As I commented on it, the way it looks now doesn't look intentional at all, as the rope it's supposedly suspended by is missing on one side. That's what I mean by broken.

Yes I did, did you look at it too? I also looked at it in the game and its attributes in the .json file too, did you?
The rope isn't missing, it's clearly there on the tarp hanging down like it has just come unhooked from the position it is supposed to be in.
In the .json file it looks to me like it has the same attributes as the fence panels, I am no programmer by any means but that makes me think it is the same as the fence panels.
As in they are one static piece and not comprised of multiple parts that can break independently or be broken independently when dismantling them (just like other objects in the game).
That would mean (if it is one piece) there isn't actually anything to come unhooked, it is simply an animation to make it look like it has, thus purely aesthetic.
If that was the case I am not sure it would be unintentional? As I commented, probably for aesthetic reasons and not a bug or something that was broken by an update.

As I said though, I am not a programmer so I am sure someone will be along to point out my error. :)

It just seems silly that it's labeled as a wall and showing a different picture in the build menu.

Also seems strange that they are hung on rope in this person's post:

They should just consider calling it a partition or something. I'd be fine with that, but as it stands I was safely assuming it was wall amid the other walls. It's listed amongst the other walls. Heck at least change the picture to reflect a sagging wall XD.

Cosmooooooo.... just... save the day, please! Use your super powers to change the fabric (hahhaha) of the universe! You're saucy and thorough. I like that.
