Palisades against natural cliff things

[Demata]

So, im making my first palisade, i figured i'd put it up against a natural wall majig that i am by, if i just build the wall right next to it, will it create a tight seal, or do i need to do something else? also a pic for a better idea of what i'm talking about:

depends on the area of the cliff you put the wall next to

you wont be able to place a palisade at the end of that part of the cliff though, no

Just one problem: Bugs. A bug with cliff jumping occasionally reoccurs. As the slogan didn't go: Just Don't Do It.

Don't do it.

If you start with one initial cornerpost and build all the way round in a square, you can make a gate and secure your palisade with just the one initial cornerpost. Once you start adding cliffs you need multiple initial cornerposts which, in addition to the security problems mentioned above, rapidly add up to a lot of leather and bone glue.

Whatever you do, don't do what I tried in W4 and attempt to build a palisade between two different cliffs. They didn't match up properly, and it would have been a nightmare of shift-clicked initial cornerposts to secure. I'm quite glad the world ended before I started on it (my thanks though to the wandering prospector who came along the day before the end of the world, laughed A LOT at my woes, and proceeded to give much useful advice on how to fix it).

Also, having only one cornerpost, so 1 door, will make it far easier/cheaper then to build a brickwall.

Further to this, you can build multiple doors with one cornerpost by splitting your wall into three at one of the cornerposts, it doesn't have to be a square and cornerposts don't have to be at the corners they can be in the middle of a length of wall they only limiting factor with building just one initial cornerpost is that you need to get a wall around to two square away from it somehow or other. Consider using a piece of graph paper to plan your wall building.

Something else to MAKE SURE YOU DO is to seal your cornerposts when you have finished. If you leave an unsealed cornerpost then some **** will use it to build another palisade across your gate and block you in. Also try to make sure you are online when your cornerpost sets as anyone else can build from it or seal it. There are loads of that type of idiot playing this game.

What does this have to do with anything?

Having only ONE starter corner post makes it easier and cheaper to build any wall. (Is this what you're trying to say?)

There's a reason people build brick walls. They can't be torn down by hand.
