how high should a wall be

[pmuecke]

Hello ,

like the titel says , how high should i make my wall so no wild dino's can walk over them ? My wall now is 4 high is this enough since around my base are quite some wild rexes and spino's , so i don't wanne have those guys walk over my wall into my base to kill of my dino's

Depends how high the frog can jump as they will be the highest possible ground one with their vertical jump and it also the ape with his throw, once those are worked out I'd go based on that but 5 high is a good start. 3 holds back all basic ground stuff.

5-6 Golden Rule!

5-6 agreed, it's not just so they can't climb the wall it's so they can't even see your dinos.

Alpha dinos can destroy stone walls and even someone with metal walls doesn't want an Alpha Trex waiting for them outside the gate because he saw your tasty dinos.

well i'm on a pve server but it's just to keep the wildlife out :p
but i'll go with 5 high then :)

4 high keeps all current dino's out as far as I know. But I'd go with 5 high to keep any wild dino from even spotting your dino's.

Alphas dont need to jump wall as they can damage stone. My spino was climbing out as wall was 3 high. 4 high and all good now. If an alpha comes you can have 10 high but if its wood or stone he will still come in for breakfast and stay for lunch.

Just do what everyone else does and build lots of ugly behemoth gates to soround your base with.

Really hate the look of everyone doing this though, but I get it - its way less resource cost for a much MUCH larger coverage area /sigh...

didn't they reduce the damage of alpha's to stone walls with 80% ?

They certainly did, the difference it actually made though? That Rex has to hit the wall 3 times now rather than just once.

ah well that sucks pretty bad :/ , i don't wanne go to bed and when i come on the next day have 0 dino's anymore and an entire base destroyed cause of some OP dino that saw one of my dino's

[Otterwald]

Yes, but 80% less damage is still damage

Unless you built in the middle of the island the chance a Rex will see your Dino's and destroy your base is very small.

is there even a way to stop alpha rexes , metal walls or somthing ?

kill them. most Alphas i have run into are low lvl. Yes metal will stop them so will a few turrents or a decent pack of tamed Dino's

[pmuecke]

aha so if i change my stone walls to metal ones they won't be able to get in ? and when i'm offline i can't kill them :p
