Simple tip but - You can use hemp fiber for herb table as well as flax. I thought you could only use flax at first derp xD.

If you build a gate and destroy the corner posts on pole fence you still have an operating gate.
Wonder if you can do the same with pali or brick? Splash damage might be hard to deal with tho. And as someone pointed out you can use wagons with normal gates now so.
-----------------
Also thought about making "safe houses" out by my foraging spots and frequently traveled spots - basically a pali door that opens in instead of out so you have somewhere to run if you are being chased (slave key). Might want a small house inside to lose agro.

The Tall, thin, brown, pine trees give pretty good tar amounts (very common in forest and grass). Way more than maple and mirkwood give.

ps : To mods - If you want to condense all my replies into one reply that would be fine, I can't delete the old ones now tho so.
