I have the following set-up, as a cycle lock system at the entrance of my underground base:
I would like to build a small gate between the bottom two cornerposts; however, whenever I try to 'build gate', it gives precedence to the longer gates perpendicular to those.
Even when there are already building signs for those placed, I still can't place the smaller gate. Is there any workaround for this, or am I stuck with this silly setup? (having to expend my gate lock another two tiles, for example)
sealing one of the opposite cornerposts did not make a difference, nor did placing a roundpole fence in between the longer gaps.
EDIT: Okay, I solved it - because the solution was non-obvious, I'll leave this thread around.
Solution:
