Sealing a brickwall CP that's in an angle

[pyrale]

Elo,

As I'm paranoid and afraid of world powers coming to my farm to steal my Q40 carrots, I have decided that it was high time my city was protected against pali-bashers. I took my bricks and my wrought iron, and started building my wall, directly in a corner of my old palisade (as my long decided master plan wanted).

Problem being, I doubt my cornerpost will still be accessible once I have the 2 outgoing wallblocks (since, again, I can't go behind the wall).

So here's my question : Is it possible to open the pie menu, seal the wall and then extend it (more or less the same process as for multi-gates) ? Is it possible to seal my cornerpost even with the two extensions built ? Will I have to ram my outside pali, seal my wall and rebuild said pali ?

Will my masterplan survive to this ?
...
Will I eventually conquer the world ?

1: Thats why you build the BW outside of your pali. But it shouldn't be a problem.

2: If it was building a BW around your place, then yes.

3: No.

I'm confused on what you're saying a little but I know that usually people build the brickwall inside one space away from the pali. It seems reasonable.

I'm not sure, test it with a non-consequential palisade post off to the side first. Easier to break those and less resource intensive if it turns out to not be true.

From working in a cave where I had to tunnel around a bit to get my palisade up (damn lake right at the undiggable border), you have to access the outside part of the CP to be able to seal it. You can't seal it from the inside. The same goes for attempts to repair. If you want to build the BW inside the pali, then either deal with one extra space, ram down the pali yourself at that spot to seal the BW, or don't worry about sealing it. BWs are hard to extend off of if you don't have kilns and a clay supply nearby.

Once you start the construction sign to extend from a CP, you can seal it. However, if you remove the sign or it gets destroyed and the CP is sealed, then you're screwed and will have to rebuild. With the situation you describe, there's no way you could start a sign, seal the CP, and then finish the next section of wall.

Can brick walls be sealed? Last I checked, when you clicked on the option it didn't work.

Wouldn't that be fixed after sealing, prep time, etc?

Anyways, it 'might' be doable the way you're saying but if it's not you're fucked. I believe the gate trick works because the first gate you use it on never checks the status of the second gate, it just needs it there initially to prep.

Just an update on this : Gate trick works : You can have one people keeping the pie menu open, a second guy sealing. The first guy can then come and open a new section.

Which leads me to wonder if a modded client could forge the "new wall section" packet to the server. This would be a pretty huge security breach as it would lead to people being able to wall-in sealed palisades/brickwalls.

I've been thinking the same thing, but never bothered to test.
