drawbridge

[_I_]

can we get some kind of liftable gate to limit animal/creature crossings?

requiring chain, stone and wood

Not to be an ass, but you must be new to the game. Most players know that if you build a moat around your base you just need to build a bridge/stairway that doesn't go all the way across. Or just jump over the moat. Either one works, as mobs can't jump at all.

yes, i know you can build a moat, but why not a retractable bridge for it?

Right, but the point is to have a drawbridge. It's just some extra aesthetics that also has a function. I think it's a cool idea.

boars can jump across a 2m gap (and sometimes miss)

but destroying and rebuilding a path for wolves etc.. to cross when you want them to is annoying

+1 to this, we need a use for them Chains. I'm not sure about the stone, just wood and chains, and maybe some nails or iron would give more weight to it's value (If Iron walls costs Iron I don't think a Drawbridge would cost cheap materials, just sayin'). It would be a fun and useful in many ways, and maybe a little bit janky because of players clipping through the door when it moves, but that's another story.

I really like this idea. I like the possibilities of using it in the reverse manner to hide/close an entrance to a cellar/basement. What dimensions were you thinking? Like 2x8 or wider like 4x10?

+1
It would also fix the issue of making unreasonable high bridges for boats to go under.
As bridges like that are not only hard to build, but often look out of place in the game.
Having a drawbridge would be thematic for both buildings and bridges alike.

This is actually a wonderful idea theres no reason y there shouldnt be one in a future update. Yeah like what the other guy was saying u can build a moat watever. BUT what hell is the point of building a bridge across a moat if u cant close the DAMN BRIDGE!! I hope they add this at some point.. i think it should require 40 core wood. 100 iron nails 20 iron chain 10 iron bars

That cost is way too high.
It would be much better to make a multi funcional drawbridge for both ''castle builds'' and bridges, and make two kinds. One that is cheap and does not span over a long area, and one that is more expensive that spans over a bigger area. (maybe make it attached to a wall as well for stability).

That way the (draw)bridge option is not completely blocked out for the player to use early game.
