Defensive Wall

Defensive walls is a type defensive structure which is more robust and secure than a basic wall.

Gameplay
Unlike the basic wall, defensive walls are built with logs that are oriented vertically instead of horizontally, and the top of the logs are spiked. Defensive walls can be built by opening the survival guide and selecting the defensive structures-section.

Update v0.34 added defensive wall gate which allows the player to create a gate along a segment of defensive walls. Ghost defensive wall segments can be turned into standalone one-sided gates (same fashion as basic wall) and two concomitant one-sided gates will automatically merge into a two-sided gate. The player can toggle the gate again to switch orientation, or again to go back to defensive wall segments.

To build gates, you will need to press. They require flat to semi flat ground otherwise you cannot place a gate. Keep this in mind where you want to place you gate when you're placing your blueprint.


 * Defensive walls are constructed one piece at a time.
 * Unlike basic walls, cannibals cannot jump over defensive walls.
 * Defensive walls can be destroyed by the Creatures.
 * Defensive walls can be destroyed by falling trees.
 * Defensive walls require more logs to build than the basic wall.
 * Spawns of wildlife such as deer, Tortoises or Rabbits will be turned off inside a closed wall.
 * To defend a gate without blocking it with larger traps, the player can place a leaf pile trap in front of it and light it if it is being attacked.

Defensive Wall
Cost depends on length.

Defensive Wall Spikes
Defensive walls can be upgraded with Defensive Wall Spikes, this will increase their health by 45%. It cannot be attached to gates and cost is dependent on how big the wall is.

Defensive Wall Single Gate
If the player presses  on the walls blueprints, it will change into a single gate. This has to be done during the blueprint phase, it cannot be changed after its completed. It requires mostly flat land to make a gate. It requires a wall 4-6 logs wide. If the gate width is small, the player may struggle to fit log sleds through the gate. Defensive Wall Spikes cannot be attached to gates.

Defensive Wall Double Gate
If the player presses  on two wall blueprints, side by side, it will change into a double gate. This has to be done during the blueprint phase, it cannot be changed after its completed. It requires very flat land to make a double gate, can be difficult to do at times. It requires a wall 8-13 logs wide. Double gates are stronger than single gates and will easily fit a log sled through it. Defensive Wall Spikes cannot be attached to double gates.

Known Bugs
Wildlife such as deer have been repeatedly seen running through Defensive Walls, even when fully built. (v0.56)
