Non destructible cliffs

It seems (so far) cliff can be made indestructible by building of placing something on top that blocks terraforming from below. And that needs some action at the top to be removed (some trees come to mind). The latter being prevented by the involuntary auto cliff-jump mode. --.MvGulik. 14:27, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Oddity ... One tree planting failed for some unclear reason (on two side of an other tree). While a virtual identical case did not fail. --.MvGulik. 21:05, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

More or less verified that cliffs can be made indestructible from below by placing trees on top that block terraforming from below. (ie: all cliff points covered by tree's.)
By filling up any gabs with bushes. Is also becomes impassible from below. While still passable from above (alternative gate-alt with shovel required).
One can also fast travel though such a cliff (additional bush feature). Although setting up a trail after such a cliff-wall is up ... might be a little bit of a problem.
(As trees don't care about the ground-slope when planting them. There is no need for flat tiles at the cliffs top side.)
NOTE: Its likely something about this will change at some point in time. But when? Nobody knows!

All cliffs should be removable in either direction.

If you're at the bottom of the cliff: just go as close as possible and drop soil.

If you're at the top of the cliff, you dig soil close enough to the cliff and it will eventually disappear, showcased by Loftar in here.

Inward corner

Creating a inward cliff-corner seem to be not possible. If this is true, locking in a claim with a inner facing cliff-wall would also not be possible. (Not sure if somehow long diagonal cliffs could be created, probably not.) --.MvGulik. 16:28, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

As of Strange Crown (2022-10-23) 90° inner corners are now possible. As such locking claims with a inner-facing cliff-wall seems now also possible. Needles to say its not as cheap, easy or fast as using a palisade, but its not effected by decay. And if its turned into a double cliff-wall ... it might be potentially indestructible (Dev's excluded). --.MvGulik. 06:30, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
