Rename gates!

[DDDsDD999]

Make visitor gates the default and hide the non-visitor gates behind some obscure adventure menu option so only people who know to look for it and have a clue what they're doing use them. Non-visitor gates mostly just bait noobs into letting their whole base get raided.

Apparently the water mills have 12 soak, but that's according to its wiki page as well. Better than a cabin but not much better than a stonestead, and the same as a mansion.

does not matter as they cannot be handbashed at all; they require siege weaponry

also wild for some reason i thought u could still handbash palis

This would probably be the best solution, at least in relation to the dev-time cost of implementation and the amount of potential unintended side-effects.

I'm ready for a change!
I've seen so many bases be raidable because of non visitor gates.
Change names or lock it behind siegecraft!

Oh okay didn’t know that, I have not built a water mill at all yet but maybe it’s worth setting some up in that case.

Perhaps pali can be hand-bashed at full soak while unclaimed I’m not sure about that. As long as a wall is claimed and full soak it requires siege as well though.
