Assisted wall building / tools

[lekkimsm2500]

I've been doing Kenshi quite on and off for the couple of years it's been on steam. I do very much like it, but i'd like to request something that i feel Kenshi have been in need of for years.

About a month ago, i made a post on the Kenshi reddit, hoping i would reach out to the seasoned modders, to see if they could give me an answer to this. I was asking to the mechanics of how wallbuilding works, and if it would be possible, through modding, to add assisting tools, in terms of locking levels and angles in increments, that would somehow help you from not ending up with walls that would resemble an abused accordion, and pieces, that barely even connected because they stood up in the whackiest angles imaginable sometimes.

After a while of not getting much result from that thread, i tried messaging one of the more prominent modders of the Kenshi realm, Shidan. He did unfortunately debunk this idea, because i was being told it was hardcoded, so modding in said tools wasn't possible.

So here's my plea. Please, look into developing some kind of tool, help or aid, that'll make it possible to make some set angles, relative to a set point perhaps. Locking angles at maybe 5°, 10° or even 15°. I wish so badly for level walls, since there's so much height to play with, if you just found a relatively flat spot somewhere on the map. But the tiniest bumps and ridges makes the walls look like they're made for a themepark funhouse, leaving big fat gaps sometimes.

And what about template tool in the same way? Drag the mouse from point A to point B, so you could either make circular, square, penta-, hexa-, hepta- or maybe even octagonal wall layouts, instead of having to eyeball it, so it always ends up crooked and weird, no matter how many times you try.

I really do hope i'm not the only one who's deeply wishing for this to come true.

Your not the only one who wishes for it.

I also wish we had a few more pieces to work with so we could make the kind of structures the NPC's can, like their bridges that can go from one walled area to another without a need for a gate in the wall. Or maybe walls that split into multiple directions.

I would just like walls to be able to link to buildings and terrain like in NPC cities without having to resort to using the console.

I would love this as well. I'm sure the devs have already thought pretty extensively about these issues, but it seems like the terrain needs to be modifiable to some extent or the walls would need to have deeper geometry that the terrain could use as margin when its uneven. Maybe walls could be re-designed to be modular in their mid-sections which could allow them to grow in size based on the terrain.
