Multiple Gates With 1 Initial Palisade Corner Post

[BridgetJones]

I read on the wiki page about palisades that it's possible to build two or three gates with one initial corner post. I feel like a dolt, but I simply don't understand how this is possible. I've searched the forums, but didn't see any reference to this technique. Could someone please explain how one can do this?

Are you perchance referencing the "Wagon gate" technique, or something completely different? Wagon gate being something like

WWWGGGGWWW

Edit:
Because the only other way I could imagine it being done is setting up the posts and coming back at it with a ram.

There is somewhat of a explanation in the discussion of that page. Also has a picture.
With 1 initial cornerpost you could build multiple inner gates that are "connected" but outer gates cannot be "connected".
You'll need a battering ram or a second initial cornerpost to have outer gates into the same place.

Draw a picture what you want to achieve, maybe we can help

Good graphic scheme "how to":

When we build this gates, we did it with one initial cornerpost. We round our territory by palisade from initial cornerpost and stop on doublegates cornerpost.
Step by step:
1. wwwC....Cwww - before start to make doublegates.
2. wwwCwCCwCwww - build 1 temporary wall section and set 1 cornerpost from each side.
3. wwwC.CC.Cwww - destroy temporary walls sections.
4. wwwC..C.Owww - open build menu at right side cornerpost, destroy left central cornerpost. Menu must be opened!!!
5. wwwCggC.Owww - set build mark for left gate from left side cornerpost (no need completely build it, just set mark with some materials).
6. wwwCggggCwww - destroy right central cornerpost and set right gate build mark from opened menu.
7. wwwCGGGGCwww - complete gates.

Where:
- w - wall section
- C - cornerpost
- O - cornerpost with opened construction menu
- . - empty tile

When you destroy section of Palisade, it can start destoy chain reaction on nearest sections. But destroy nearest sections not instant, it destroy with 3-4 ticks right after previous section destoyed. So, you have few seconds to repair it. Just be ready to put 2-3 blocks of wood.

Red is initial (that I started with mentally, really any of those posts can be the initial), blue is subsequent posts. I could get more elaborate if I wanted, but that makes 2 seperate compounds that are accessible by one gate only, and two compounds accessible by multiple gates (living vs common areas I suppose).

Don't carry keys on your main. Just don't do it. Get a key alt, I've lost a town to that mistake before.

Oh thanks Sevenless! That's perfect! Cheers =D
