How to Build Dino Gateway?

[Richkenny]

Okay so I just wasted resources building a dino gateway and the door frame for it

How the heck do I build walls around this dino gateway? It keeps saying no snap point or whatever so I had to demolish the way thing.

And how do you move or manuver/turn things around before building it?

place fences that connect to it :) then you can place walls on top of the fences

When you say it won't snap to point are you referring to the wall not snapping or the fence foundation?

You must put down a fence foundation first before it will let you put a wall down.

how do place fence foundation down in order to put up walls?

is there a youtube video of someone showing this? Cause I looked far and wide and couldn't find any info on this.

dino gateway Check!
dino gate check!
walls ?? Can't snap

how do I make walls around this dino door so I can make a dino pen???

like we told you, you need fence to place the walls without having any foundations below. the fence pieces act as a foundation for the walls. they snap to the dino gate. you have to learn the fence engram.

alternately, you could place foundations, stick the dino door on the foundation and build walls just like you would a hut.

fence foundation. (that's what it is called)

itll look like a small strip of wood you place on the floor, and you can Snap a wall to this once placed.

Actually it's more efficient if you build your entire wall out of dino gates placed side by side... the gates(door frame part) will actually snap to each other too.

I am not sure if this is intended, but its actually cheaper than using walls. Here are the costs:

Dino gate = 2 wide x 4 tall = 8 wall sections + 2 fence foundations

Dino gate & door costs:
200 wood
50 thatch
35 fiber
40 stone

8 walls & 2 fence foundation costs:
340 wood
16 thatch
11 fiber

Yes gates are slightly more expensive in fiber and thatch, but the 140 wood saved is huge (until you have a mammoth, who can't fit in the gate coincidentally)

The added bonus is that the gates look much cooler painted and you can enter your pen from any direction you approach if you want.
