Help with rookie mistake

[WarpedWiseMan]

Nice job! This is the first time I've read a thread where the poor schlub that got stuck, unstuck himself. Way to be self sufficient!

Wow way to persevere. And now you have a nice alt to put excess curios on.

HA HA, success. it took me nine days but I managed to make an alt, find my old camp on the world map and walk there. then find all of the supplies to make a battering ram, up my str enough break down my wall and rebuild the gate for a new key. now to set it up so that I never do that again.

Impressive. Where in the NE are you? I might stop by to give you some gifts or something.

You didn't give up after taking 9 days to fix a problem yourself?

Want to join a village?

This is why keys/gates as currently designed are useless. Just make a "gatekeeper" account with the key on him at all times to open/close it. Don't take keys outside your walls. Ever.

A completely gutted compound from my first attempt at building this world agrees. Each person who has a key has their own alt account specifically for holding the key and nothing else. Worse than dying outside with the key on you (ps, another alt account with an outdoor hearth fire solves the spawning issue) is if raiders get it.

lol. Congrats! At least now I know not to make the same newb mistake when I'm unnewbified enough to be able to make it
