Does an alternative for this exist for 1.5?

I had a fun interaction with Impassable Fences + Prison Commons. I wanted to make a yard area for my prisoners using chainlink fence (for the looks), unfortunately I didn't realize even having the fence be impassable didn't make it count as a wall for room purposes. The yard definitely became a prison commons...and so did the entirety of the outside base. I only saw that when I noticed a line of prisoners walking towards the park - not escaping, just shambling slowly towards the horseshoes pin because they wanted to play (Prisoner Recreation mod also used). Hilarious outcome, but I did have to replace the chainlink fence with an actual wall. Oh well.

I've been using it on 1.4 with no issues.

@ThisIsBlecki No I don't think it does. I've been using the [KV] Path Avoid mod to make fence squares highly undesirable to walk through. Doesn't stop animals from getting into pens, but it does stop your pawns from stupidly pathfinding through them.

Will this work with 1.4?

1.4 please

@Geronimo Maybe we're too busy to spend hours learning the inner mechanisms of a game built on its own engine. Perhaps you're not busy enough

@Geronimo you can always do it yourself in the meantime

How can one be so busy they cannot spend three seconds to open a text file and change a true setting to false then upload it?

@Burusutazu, may I ask for the name of the other mod you mentioned in this comment?

"I can just set up this pen and my alpacas will be safe from... oh." - Me, the first time I built an animal pen

@Jiopaba Thanks for the suggestion, I'll be pretty busy so it might be awhile before I patch that in. Testing for now. I am also testing out a alternative version of this mod where the pathing cost is made just high enough pawns wont path over them anymore but can if forced.

Hey dude, you can fix the melee pathfinding errors by changing the XML for vanilla fences to set "isFence" to false!

Now, you can still stand outside enemies totally enclosed in fences and they'll be too dumb to path out and kill you, but it means that you won't generate pathfinding errors anymore with "Ran out of cells to process."

"isFence" means "animals won't walk over it, but it's passable." If you make a fence Impassable, it's now de facto a "wall" not a "fence" so you need to change that in order fo the pathfinding to work correctly. If you fix this, then melee enemies will even correctly smash the fences down to kill people inside. Cheers.

@Burusutazu
Thanks! The problem has been solved.

@Mahjoula
I removed one of the patches I made and the issue vanished, the patch is out for it.
Although the change should not have broken the visual... so there might be a bug in the game causing it that's outside of my control.

It's been that way for me since I launched 1.3 the first time. I thought it was normal. TMYK

@Burusutazu
Then it may be caused by vanilla 1.3 fences itself, again thanks for your work!
Also I wonder if you have this problem too?

I'll look into it, but I haven't made any changes that should cause this.

Thanks for your work, but I have encountered a problem and I hope you can fix it.

Exactly what I'm looking for! <3 Thank you

I cannot believe we need a mod for this... thank you so much :) my fences work properly now

So what you're saying is, build fences around your walls to keep the breachers out! >:) The complete opposite of how it's usually done. I love it! lol

thanks for this mod :)
is it possible to please patch it to include the fences from the more vanilla fences mod?

Melee raiders wont attack the fences, thats why there is a warning that it breaks the game a bit.

fences can still be broken by raiders, right?

It's just vanilla 1.3 fences made impassable. So you can shoot over them.

Cool start, but hopefully we can get a mod that restores the functionality to how fences functioned for raiders and such in 1.2

can bullets be shot through the fence? just asking
