Palisade gates: 2 tiles wide vs 3 tiles

Postby CowBlaster » Sat Mar 02, 2019 2:37 am

Hey, I was wondering if there was any advantages to building a 2 tiles wide gate instead of a 3 tiles wide one?

Wagons can't fit through two wides.

Three wides also look cooler.

You want to look cool don't you?

Everything currently fits through a 2 tile wide gate, but if using a wagon you have to line it up well and can be awkward, so if you are intending to regularly drive a wagon through it would recommend a 3 wide gate for that, otherwise just whatever fits best with your wall and paths.

Of course there may be future updates of things that don't fit through two tile wide gates (personnaly I'm hoping for goat drawn chariots).

Advantage of two wide gate is it can be centered on wall of even length.

But what if your entire wall is made out of visitor gates only, 3 tiles has big advantages.

Yes, each gate has its use.

I guess I'm gonna go with the 3 tiles wide gate then, seems more convenient.

Thanks!

An entire wall made out of gates? what is this madness?

They can, even without much of a hassle.

That said, 3-tile gates are easier to navigate through with the wagon.
Too old to rock-n-roll, too young to die.
