Do we build walled cities now?

While this update has many flaws, It does give us a reason to care about defenses.

Property fence is cheap but hard to maintain, Especially for bigger towns. Stone walled plus locked gates is hardest but most effective once walls ancient. Just keep keys inside the border and make alot of backups.

Stone blocks could work well too, As long as raiders don't bring shovels with them.

Its not worth it / will not happen

- its more likely that your family dies out before anyone finds it

- a wall around the village will block people that want to search for resources

- it takes a lot of time to build one and even more time to maintain one

Plus, if it's a stone wall (which it probably will be) a quick pickaxe will make the entire wall useless.

if it becomes ancient then its ok

Says the raider..

Maybe you are just saying that so nobody builds defenses.

No, i say it because i tried it, look here: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6017
But if you dont believe me go ahead and try, maybe you find a good way of doing it, then make screenshots and post them here.

wall off a few swords, best you can do
the same problem as with griefers
they lazy to do their own weapon to kill you so they will kill you with your own weapon

the truth is that only smarter people will discover others, and smarter people arent that offensive in general
but what if people are afraid and therefore hate foreigners? i already seen a noob stab a lady who was tending to our kids and helped smithing, and enjoyed the weird communication
walling off just means more obstructions to go out, sure some will try it

most thing in this game arent needed , like town guards, but when they are needed they are needed fast
this dumb roleplay guards couldn't defend people cause they already reveal themselves so a smart attacker can go around them or kill them first

same for medic supplies, they arent needed all the time but when you need it for multiple people there isn't enough

so yeah, you can make a small fence with a sword just in case, so you know others cant access it but city walls are a no go

people cant even tend to a 4x4 sheep pen made of property fence
i wont do it either
i rather make new and let it rot

resources are expensive and since the start of the game we got more nerfes on it
flat rocks go to roads and graves
butt logs go to carts, fences, shoes, fire, buckets and signs
red doesn't respawn and baskets despawn, clay is limited after a bit and you either make this or that

if he wants trade, we would need some resources to build in exchange for resources that we got, like food
50 pies for 50 adobe?
you get back the plates
next batch you can get only 40 adobe
why would you trade? to reset plates and give people distraction

No. Why would you build a wall around your city and make it into a giant deathtrap?

How hard is it to keep a few bows hidden/stocked and just shoot anyone (including your own family) who are dicking around with swords? If you are dumb enough to stand around someone holding a sword you probably deserve to be stabbed (though why the fuck does it go bloody which gives off the idea the person would be on murder cooldown?)

-Kill anyone who fools with a sword
-Don't stand next to a person with a weapon
-Dump swords into the wilderness.

People aren't going to make walls and they won't put up fences. They'll stop ringing bells unless absolutely needed or they'll keep an eye on who is doing what. It's nonsense to assume people would put all that effort in for a city that will die off in like 10 hours.
