External walls and you. How to make them better.#5071

So, I have been playing rust for a long time, been here since the good old says of zombies, and rad animals, And i am happy with how the game has come along but returning to rust i chose to play around with the power system and love it. But while making my new rusty home i relised something. High external walls suck. They suck putting them down, they suck while you try and line them up, they are over all a pain in the ♥♥♥ to put up. But something crossed my mind.

While i was playing with the wireing tool i loved how you could path out route of the wire and get it to go just about where ever you want it to go, So it hit me Why not use something similar to this with the walls?

More or less the walls would be crafted in much the same manner as before but much like the wiring tool each crafting gives you max of X amount of length, and once you used up X length they wall is used up. When you confirm how you wished to place down your stone or wood walls it would conform to the ground and match were you are trying to place it. allowing for a nice smooth wall. To keep track of how much heath they would have would not be hard, each X length would be counted as its own wall segment with its own health like the walls we already have, This would also allow for the walls to be placed in diffrent angles or even circles with no problems.

The reason i bring this us is becouse we struggle with placeing walls down with in rust and with as much as walls are part of how the game works it would be nice to see an improvement on how they are placed.

Before you nay sayers speak up, let me point this out, with a quick enough reaction you could create a wall just as easy as you normaly could while you are being shot out with this, with the added benefit of being able to curve it or ven make it in to a V shape to help provide you more cover from side attacks or angles

Please leave some feed back here and let ME and FACEPUNCH know how you feel on the walls and if you agree the need an over hall.

Edit.
I see a mention to a selection wheel to allow to be placed like normal, I dont think that would be too hard eather. It would allow people to place it down like before.

I love ur idea GARRY ACCEPT IT or Helk will be fired

Love this

Honestly, I love this idea. Simple and yet so effective. I dont think it would change the gameplay anyway except for allowing easier, less annoying placement of walls!

Good idea, hard to implement though…

i would still like to option to place it down the old way if add make something like selection wheel where it defaults to the old way that way you can place it down fast in the heat of moment if need be also maybe a way to connect to segments of wall so if you do get raid its a easy fix

No idea why, but this idea reminds me of Age of Empires. But 100% agree walls are a pain in the *** to place, and would be good if something was changed.

This would be awesome! I’m thinking they could atleast make prefabs - sort of twig high walls that you can upgrade if you have walls in your inventory.
