Palisade seal

[Jackwolf]

I had a thought the other day of Palisade corners requiring bone glue to be sealed. It makes sense, using glue as a sealant, with the added benefit that you can't go around griefing people by randomly sealing their palisade to stop their progress - this would be especially beneficial early world.

Plus, once you start to become settled in, bones / bone glue is a pretty easy commodity. With all of the chickens that spawn near my area I have a huge stock of bones. =P

this seems to me it would just make it easier to grief, sice the powerful faction can get loads, while noobs would struggle to get the 7 needed to finish the wall and make it safe to sleep inside without threat of people building you in. palicade becomes to hard for a noob fast, and if they got sealed in without water? noob quits even if they did catch it soon enough to use destroy on the section.

This. It would only harm newbies.
Anyway, anyone who would want to grief someone with a palisade would bring a palibasher at this point.

No real reason to bump that cost, is there? Palisades are expensive as it is, no?

I do agree they are expensive, but I've seen numerous cases of this sort of thing being the downfall of someone. Wandering around I've seen at least 3 settlements that have gone to ruin, with a single lowly palisade corner that's been sealed in one corner of their place.

Being sealed within their own place without water means nothing, as being sealed in even without this change means doom. Palisades only take 5 as it is, with this change bumping it up by 5-6 or more, depending on if they build their palisade in just a box or not.

The idea of it is that, while yes more powerful factions can make loads it means they won't have some on hand to just seal the corner on a whim. If they want to grief in that matter it actually takes some fore-thought of bringing bone glue with them. And yes, at this point it's less of a thought for _established_ players, but for a newbie it's still as easy as one simple click to destroy that expensive progress of building that first corner post.

Palisades are an expensive endeavour, that I won't deny, but so far I can't see this as anything other than an acceptable cost. While I know this is also a poor extension of the argument, it makes sense as far as what you would 'seal' the corner post with anyhow.
