Make it easier to deconstruct your own palisade

Postby Sephiron » Sun Jan 26, 2025 7:35 pm

Palisades can make your life hell if you don't plan your base design/upgrades months ahead. I don't see how making your base more attractive/organized/compartmentalized can give anyone an unfair advantage or be exploited in any reasonable sense. Please for the love of god, make it so that if I decide there shouldn't be a palisade segment somewhere, I don't have to wait 24h to literally siege myself.

My recommended solutions:
1. Wrecking ball does not need 24h to dry on a claim in which you have vandalism permissions
or
2. Wrecking ball does not need 24h to dry on a claim you own
or
3. Add a flower menu option to bash a palisade segment by hand (with or without cascade) on a claim in which you have vandalism permissions, after the segment has dried.
or
4. Just allow us to hand bash dried palisade segments on a claim in which you have vandalism permissions (with or without cascade) just like anyone currently can when the segment has no soak

The issue here isn't cascade by itself. Yes it sucks, but you need to crack a few eggs to make an omelet and I'm willing to compromise. The issue is that you have to build a wrecking ball, wait 24h for it to dry, have it cascade, rebuild your old segments that you didn't mean to get destroyed, reposition the wrecking ball to destroy a segment the cascade missed, wait another 24h, rinse and repeat. I have so much that I want to do but I'm halfway considering just quitting this world because of the boring monotonous and monumental task of slightly improving my wall layout, because I didn't have the foresight back in november of how large my tree farm or animals pens will get.


YOU LITERALLY CANNOT USE WRECKING BALLS IN SIEGE ANYMORE, WHY DO THEY HAVE A DRYING TIME?

I have long proposed this. You built it, you should be able to destroy it comparatively easily (a fourth to a third the effort of destroying someone else' property; not even need wrecking ball or battering ram). And yes, no cascading with your own demolition.

I'm just at my wit's end with this game, between the lack of user friendly tools for base building, the lack of updates and radio silence during a month that I actually paid a subscription for, and also the really shitty luck I've been having with my mine. I almost need some kind of encouragement or validation to justify the insane amount of time I've been wasting just terraforming and preparing to expand my base this past week to get hit in the balls with a 'need to wait 24h' message from my wrecking ball. The next update they should literally add an extra chat window for telehealth or a direct line to a behavioral therapist just to cope with this shit
