Legacy:Palisade

A sturdy wall, hard to destroy without the aid of a Battering Ram for an average player.

• You will need at least 626 strength to damage it with your bare hands. (576 with a pickaxe, 441 with a sledgehammer.)

• You will need at least 36 strength to damage it with a battering ram.

A pickaxe does not help while using a battering ram, according to loftar.

How to Acquire

Build > Walls and Fences > Palisade

Begin by constructing a cornerpost and then right click on the cornerpost to expand the wall. Two empty tiles with cornerposts on either side make building a gate possible. Once a gate has been built, the character laying the final touch on the gate will receive a Key for it.

Notes

• All palisades, cornerposts and gates should be constructed on paved tiles to lessen the decay rate. Gates require extra 2 paved tiles in front of and behind them.

• As of World 3, the initial cornerpost must set for 12 (realtime) hours before further construction can begin.

• There is an option to seal palisade cornerposts, once sealed nobody will be able to extend walls from that cornerpost. (WARNING: SEALING IS PERMANENT)

• Each gate requires its own unique key to be opened, one key is received for free upon completion of the gate. Keys can be named. If you want additional keys then you will have to copy them via the use of a Key-Mold. Each copy will require a nugget of metal.

• If you finish by building your gate with the first and last palisade corner post you will only have to build one initial corner post, additional gates will require more cornerposts.

• You only need to build 1 palisade cornerpost to make a square wall with 1 gate, not 4, unless you want 4 gates.

• If you want to save bone, leather or rope and still make another gate, you can place a cornerpost, place out two wall segments, place another cornerpost, remove the two wall segments and build a gate there. This will cost you 96 blocks of wood, while building a new post 2 tiles away from your last corner post will cost 160 wood, 10 leather, 2 bone glue and 5 rope(including cost for building the cornerpost and gate). However, this will require massive strength and most likely the aid of a Battering Ram.

• One should be careful when building a wall, as griefers can use it against you. If your gates are unsealed and/or outside of your claim, griefers may build more wall to seal up the exits of your home and trap you inside. If at all possible, you should be ready to destroy the wall that surrounds you by making certain you have the ingredients for a ram inside, or some other form of safety.
