How do I make indoor gates?
« on: January 07, 2018, 09:03:36 am »

So how would I make indoor gates I can open and close with levers. Kind of like Kruggsmash's Steelclutches fort with all the small 2 by 3 gates hooked up to levers. Also how do I make garbage compactors(Or atom smashers? is that what there called?)? So I can just make a dump pile full of rocks and refuse and destroy them.

It will probably take you 10 seconds to read this digital text on your monitor. And then ponder its metaphorical meaning.

All of these are made using retractable bridges.

When you 'b' 'g' to build a new bridge, you can set it to be a raising or retracting bridge, and choose the direction.

When a bridge will be used to block access into your fort, you want a raising bridge. Retracting bridges allow line of sight, meaning that invaders will try to cross the moat to get inside, by flying, climbing, or jumping. I accidentally built a retracting front gate once and those zombies jumped over the pit and invaded my barracks.

For atom smashing, search for that term in the wiki....

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.
