Alternative Palisade Gate to doors

[allik]

I was having a conversation with another hearthling about how nice it was being able to come in and out of my plot from a wide area since I was moving my gates and had bashed a section down.

Which got me thinking, what if we had a wider gate for a more free flowing feel to walled areas? I created this wonderful paint picture to illistrate what I was thinking...

A gate that slides left to right and was larger, maybe 5 or 6 (or bigger..) squares.

Created similar to the other gates but only works between two cornerposts 5+ tiles apart and requries rope/string and metal for tracks, which would visually be on the ground or possibly attached to part of the wall? Might be hard to do on the wall since it would have to change the wall piece?

Side thought to this idea is a similar gate for fences that swing open to allow more flow for roped animals to get out without getting stuck on eachother.

Lol, so you're saying someone would be able to make safe pali with just 4 gates and that's it. Making claiming of resources sooo easy, just place them around the local resource and place village claim.

Besides it kinda doesn't feel right for the theme of the game.

So I'm saying it would be more resource intensive to make, ropes + metal. No, not easier than 3 wood per wall piece?

I was more thinking about the fact that moving multiple roped animals get clipped on each other walking through the gates we have right now and stop moving, having a wider gate would be a nice alternative to the ones we have now.

How does it not feel right for the theme? Using materials already present in the game for an alternative style gate? If we are able to develop and create complex style metal gates, it's not far-fetched to think a gate like this would be possible.

At one point it is just 2 wide door available. Now they have expand this one to 3 wide door, so that it can be center on wall with odd number length. I think now the selection of wall is fine enough. I will rather spend the labors to create free form build system than spend them on many type of wide door, which will be made invalid with free form build system.

Not sold on having to add five different gate types for each wall we might add.
