Doors on Fence Foundation
If there's a wall on top of a door frame, you have to crouch to get through. Any way around it or do I have to resort putting dino gate wherever I want an exit out of my wall?

Same problem applys when putting a door frame on a ceiling, door is to low.

This is annoying, but i can put up with crouching for the moment.

Actually I noticed that if the ceiling material is different on both side of the door, it blocks you. But if you put same material it doesn't happen to me.

It seems to be a height problem due to the fence foundation. Somehow the game doesn't register that the frame is ON the fence rather than through it but when you go, your character goes up a small step to cross the fence.

It doesn't matter if your character height can actually go through, every character has the same mechanical height regardless. And I know why, it'd be hell for all tall guy to compensate for all entrances.

I had a crazy idea to add a second door frame on top of the first but then you have to open and close twice over, assuming stacking door frames even work.

Anyone found a way to get around this issue for doors in walls?

As long as your room is at least two stories high, you can stack door frames, and just leave the door out of the top one. That's what I have to do when I'm boxing in unconscious dinos. I think the only thing that can get in as far as dinos are concerned is a Dimo.

Yeah I was thinking of doing that actually. I swear I had 1 door working on a foundation once without having to crouch.

As an alternative I guess you could just have the door on wall 2, then a ramp either side?

This same thing happens when you put a doorframe on the apex of a sloped roof. Switching the stone sloped roof to a metal ramp fixed the issue for me. ramp looks higher but you walk through the lip that sticks up over the edge, and the roof sloped roof looks flush but you walk up over a little invisble bump. Kind of stupid but was changing the base to meta anyway...

Instead of a wall, put another door frame WITH a door on top. You do NOT need to open the top door ever. You will be able to walk thru fine and dandy just by opening the bottom door, with the top door closed
