Sealing corner from the inner angle?

Post by Halagaz »

OK i just discovered you can't seal a corner from the small angle (well i knew it but it never actually bothered me until i made 2 layers), and this is amazingly stupid. If you make more than one layer and have them stick to each other, well you have to ram the outer layer to actually seal your corners... Please change this asap :shock:

1 = layer 1
2 à layer 2
C = corner

2222C1
------21
------21

The corner C can't be sealed without raming wall 1...

And how are they going to change it? The problem is that you can't interact with the tile because there's nothing exposed. What were you trying to do so that you had to try and seal a cornerpost from inside the bend?

isn't the segment supposed to be thiner than the cornerpost? You could always make it so you can interact if you are at the angle, i really don't see the problem, not that i'm a pro coder thought.

ps: I think i explained why i need to do that. I knew sticking 2 layers wasn't a good idea, i just forgot about that aspect.

The change you propose would possibly end up in a lot easier raiding ^^

I propose nothing, i'm just pointing a problem.

Pave the tile at corner, switch to maximum run speed and you will be able to seal it

A couple more things:

1) This is a bit of an exploit, and a known one, so don't expect it to work forever.

2) You're right in that the wall is about the same size as the corner posts despite the visual representation.

3) If you're building a double layer like you described, does it really matter if the inside cp is sealed? Nobody will be able to access to extend off of it, anyway, unless they first smash down the outside corner. The outside layer is brick, isn't it?

Actually it does raise a valid point because if your outside wall is a pali and your inside is brick (ie. you're unable to build whole brick in one go so you build it inside to protect the mats) then raiders can bash the outside one and expose brick one for griefing/ram sealing.

Yes that was exactly the point, especially because i don't have a pali basher myself. So i would have to build 5 (i have one more) ram just to seal the corners, that was even more risky to seal my posts like that than letting them unsealed, or i would have to call an unknown pali basher to take care of it, and everyone with a little sense would understand the risk it mean.
