Palisade gap near cliff, cannot place corner post?

Post by saltire »

Hi,

as title says, i have a 1 square paved tile where i want to place a corner post flush with a cliff edge (im on the lower side of the edge).

When i try to place it, i run up against the spot where the sign should appear and nothing happens, no error message either. I think there isnt enough room, how should i proceed?

I Built my palisade towards the cliff, even if i had placed the CP 1 spot earlier it would still have left a man size gap.

Build another cornerpost and make sure that it seals the hole before you build it. You will have to build it off-center, which you can do by holding shift while positioning it.

There are no other options. Unless you want to build all the way around the cliff.
Come back two hours earlier.

was just looking for a cheap way out (eg not having to drop the leather rope and glue again, kinda tough for me, im nub)

thanks for the SHIFT tip though!

I managed to close it when it ends on a "Extend west", but not on a "Extend south". Just in case you can keep going west and close it there

I'm bumping an old thread as it seems to be the closest thing I could find to my problem.

I can't seem to extend my Palisade to the edge of this cliff. I am unable to Extend South, Place Cornerpost, or build a new Initial Cornerpost there, as I'm trying to do in this picture. Whatever method I try, my character moves to the spot, but no Sign pops up to begin building.

Any thoughts?

This is why you don't use a cliff as a part of your wall. The planning is just... painful. The other reason is that there's a bug exploit that keeps popping up that allows players to jump over cliffs.

The answer is here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16013&p=251953#p183673 (second post from the top)

Just in case you're not sure what he means:

What you CAN do is place another starter post in there. Hold down shift while placing the sign, and you can move without the grid alignment. Just put a single item into it and don't build it. Test the closure by walking around the post and doing everything you can to squeeze through. If you can walk through, so can anyone else. You need to remove materials and try again. Once you're satisfied with the positioning, you can finishing loading materials and build it.

ram the last one, then place cp, and extend east and try reaching the other edge.

For pali with edge, i'd recommend to try to place a fire signpost near edges to see if it fits.

Replacing the last one is a possibility, but may end up being more work than just closing it with an offset corner post.

A fire doesn't have the same hitbox as a wall section. It really should be the same type of wall that is being built.

Off-topic, how did he get his client to show the quality (I assume) in inventory?
