Latest file for v1.18.5:
woodenfortifications_v0.0.4.zip 1-click install


Vintage Story doesn't have much in the way of passive base defense, so I set out to rectify that with some simple crude additions available from day 1.

Current fortifications:

  • Sharpened wooden stakes (Archer's Stakes)
    • Crafted with 4 firewood
    • Has 25 hit points before it self destructs
    • Deals 2 damage
  • Embedded copper spears (Archer's Copper Spears)
    • Crafted with Archer's Stakes and a single copper spearhead
    • Has a longer lasting 60 hit points
    • Deals 3 damage
  • Palisade Walls
    • Crafted with 6 firewood
    • Two blocks high
  • Palisade Walls with Walkway
    • Crafted with 7 firewood
    • Two blocks high with walkway

Planned:

  • More spear stakes to expand to all metal types
  • Better collisions for palisade walls
  • Integration with world-generated palisade and spikes

Known Issues:

  • Despite the visual, palisade walls don't currently seem to block projectiles above the first block. I am looking into how to rectify this
  • Players will sometimes not take damage while touching spikes after the first impact. I probably won't fix this.

Ты собираешься чинить текстуры стен? Например можно отключить случайные текстуры?

Are you going to fix the textures of the walls? For example, is it possible to disable random textures?

Can anyone confirm if this works using v.1.19pre?

Does this mod still work in version 1.18.15?

This mod is pretty useful! I've been able to use this to keep my base safe and it's fun trying to build up defenses.

 

However I'd like to make a few suggestions for some stuff, though most of these are mostly just details and some small things;

-You should recolor the archer's stake and palisade walls to be more in line with firewood, so they look a little bit less like the naturally generated wood stakes.

-Require a knife in the archer's stake recipe to make it a little harder to craft and balance it out more.

-Before the spike HP you should state "Health: 25/25" to be more like enemy descriptions.

-Add more trap types, like maybe some traditional in the ground spikes.

-A larger cluster of palisade walls (or a large firewood block) that you could use for corners instead of finding a matching wall.

-I'm sure this is already planned but the blocks don't seem to have any wood sfx, if I'm correct you could add some in the block json folder.

-Variation or item version of the metal spikes (from locust nests) possibly as an upgrade for the ground spikes which have durability like the other items.

-Possibly a config file that you could use to change some of these features?

 

I might've asked for a bit of stuff but I already think this mod is pretty fun & useful, I just think that it could do with a few changes in my opinion.

No they cant climb fences, I tested this in my creative world, and the pike things on the bottom did no damage. @DanaCraluminum

Loco Bears can climb on any block, even fences

💬 Loco, Jul 3rd 2023 at 12:28 PM

Hi, I tried using the mod. I can't find the part of the wall with a walk way. I made a two block tall fence out of this with sharpened stakes at the bottom and a bear walked over everything like it wasn't even there.

It would be nice to have the ability of entities to destroy the walls and having a flint variation
Also fixing the overclip of the walls to act as a upgrade.

Amarillo They do not deal damage, I figured that would result in more friendly fire than anything

 

💬 Amarillo, Jun 24th 2023 at 5:47 PM

Wow you updated super fast! palisades top part dont deal damage, right?

💬 JanoobaAuthor, Jun 23rd 2023 at 8:00 PM

Craluminum They do have durability, they can deal damage about 30 times before breaking for good, but digging them up should reset that. I haven't figured out a way to display that damage in an intuitive way quite yet, but plan to.

Damage is displayed on the tooltip for now. It shouldn't reset when digging up stakes.
