TW for Thingwalls, but for nothing else?

ie. roads, ship-to-dock, Charter Stones, (am I missing anything?)
Haven and Hearth Wiki (Maintained by volunteers - test/verify when practical. Forum thread

Basic Claim Safety (And what you’re doing wrong
TL:;DR: Build a Palisade with only Visitor gates.)

Combat Guide (Overview, PVE, PVP) (Includes how to escape/minimize risk of getting killed.)

I get that PVE hopers/copers are in shambles, but this is exactly the kind of stuff that experimental worlds are for. I am excited to see all this play out. Including claim abuse up the ass.

Edit: you should consider making these worlds 3-6 months depending on activity so people don't lose it every time an experimental world isn't the direction they want tho

and here is why you should never post patch notes hours before they go live.
still excited for the fresh start. :D

PC spam will become a real problem once players build palisades around them. My guess is destroying walls is very very easy in 16.2. No way they drop bs like that and don't think of the consequences, r-right?

Make it so pclaims are only active if the bond is in somebody's brain, and make it so you can only have one in your brain per character

are we going to have visitor and normal gates again?

also what if you made it so carrying stolen goods would cause you to drop scents of theft every now and then until it's been 24 hours or something since the thing's been stolen? that way they can be tracked down without it being used as a tracking beacon? and since it's new scents when people are trading they can just turn on tracking and see that they were traded a stolen item?
