Okay, I cant pick up my fences without obliterating them..

[Joobey]

The only way I know how to remove them, hit them with my axe.. is there another way?

I think it depends on the fence you use.

I only crafted iron fences thus far, and I remember that I could break them down and place them on a new tile at least one time. If I tried to break it down two times then it would just break completely and I could not use it.

I'm assuming that if you're using wood or stone the fence might just break because the iron fences say that they are more durable.

its fence breaking, if they deterrorirate which happens then it gets destroyed.

You should be able to use the axe to pick them up right after you've put them down. Once you've left them for a day or two, you can't pick them up anymore, the axe will just destroy them (theoretically because they've become damaged by weather).

have you ever tried to remove a wooden fence in real life ? You cannot remove a fence in 1 piece and move it. You have to destroy it.

I know for a fact that if you smack them with a pickaxe (being wood or stone) they just obliterate. I keep forgetting that axes are ideal for moving places objects around, and will attempt to find out if it works for me going forward.

Think it is just to prevent people from 'resetting' damaged fences by taking them down and putting the same fence back up.

If you try to move a fence that has been in the elements long enough to wear at all, it just breaks.

In my experience, moving the fences around on the same day as their first placement, you can pick them up as much as you want.

It's possible the higher-tier fences wear slowly enough you can accomplish this past day one, but I've only worked with stone so far.

Basically, it's not a bad idea to assume any fence that has been placed longer than a day is going to be a write-off if you go to move it, and also to make sure you are happy with new fence placement before sleeping.

I don't know if you've noticed, but a lot of things that fly in this game don't apply to real life, for example little green slime balls that run around and hurt you. So sometimes common sense isn't at the front of one's mind while playing this game lol
