Railings?

[=яενєηąŋŧ=]

Anyone know if railings are going to be implemented? Would be nice to have them for bridges, roofs, and towers. Closest I can do now is windows which don't look so great for the purpose.

you can stack fence foundations on top of eachother but this is an expesive work around. hopeing for proper railings too.

Ah yes, we’ll be adding in proper rail guards fairly soon ;)

For some reason I couldn't post in the main discussion thread so I'll ask here.

How soon is soon? There has been multiple updates since this comment was made and I was curious as to whether there was a timeline we could look forward to.

[Nubsly]

Yeah,

Lots of things have gotten shuffled around because of some headaches that popped up over the last week or so. We're still going to get them to you :)

So now we have roofs which is a shorter less angled ramp and angled walls to go with it, but still no railings? Yes I'm obsessed but I want railings ;(

And those new railings are just terribly small when put alone, and too high when 2-stacked.

They are too small IMO:

That's not a guard rail for me.. Too small to be a "guard" rail...

Also the snap point is a bit weird. not aligned with walls etc like fence foundations as we can see here (the one on the left is the original one, the right one is the tricked one, see below):

I managed to trick one of the railing to get it a the height (that's much more a G"Guard rail" for me now..) and the snap point i wanted to be by putting 2 or 3 fence foundations first, then snap this railing on top and then deleting the fences, but there is a gap under...

I wish they could do better railings, i was waiting for that so much..
But honestly i'm really disappointed from these...
Well i think i'll stick to my stacked fence foundation... :(

Your second picture is clipped onto your outer house not the foundation you wanted it, you seem to have sorted this by your last picture but you seemed to have clipped the railing in this pic to your ramp.

Thanks for the pic's tho ill be prepaired with lots of beer when setting mine up.

Nope, not at all, we can't snap anything on ramp. I did this by placing fences first.
Actually, fences have 2 snap points on foundation: One on the edge, and one not. The one on the edge look weird when building a guard rail IMO, and it s the one used by the railing by default

I actually found a way to make it look better and have the other snap point some minute ago: Just flip the railing with F and the railing will be at the same place as the fence. Still it's smaller than what i wanted it to be, but that's a bit better tough ^^"
