so ive recently gotten forestry hehe, and this might sound silly, but ive actually been considering making a wall around my place with trees. i know the success rate sucks but i planted about 18 in pots and got a 50% return, so every 3 days that (if i highly expanded it) could mean one wall complete. with say a a stone hedge and gate between between the end and beginning of trees(making a door). staggering the doors, would pretty much guarantee that people come thru the gates yes? i mean i couldnt destroy my trees(i tried and nothing would happen), id have to sit there and chop them, and with them side by side only one raider could at a time. so i was thinking, stone wall, treee wall, then stone wall, all gates staggered, then i could stagger just a cornerpost and gate on the entrance wall, as many times as i wanted, they would have to bust thru as many as i placed there,
T=tree S=hedge G=gate
O=OPEN AREA
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
STTTTTTTTTSSSG
STSSSSSSSSSTSGG
STSOOOOOSTGGS
STSOOOOOSGGSS <-- COULD STAGGER GATES INDEFINITELY ON THIS SIDE YES?
STSOOOOOGGSSS
STSOOOOOGTSSS
STSSSSSSSSSTSSS
STTTTTTTTTSSS
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
a rough crude example illistrating the idea i have.
so the only thing stopping me(as i thought of this after planting the trees outside), is can trees be placed side by side? 1 per square? on flat land? if so i think this might be about the most impenetrable wall of all 3 currently available types.
(of course extending one beyond this and homestead one beyond that so the perp would have commmitted his thrird crime BEFORE getting to the tree wall, as im not sure if cutting a tree on a homestead would trigger defences.)
gogo forestry!!!? or am i not seeing something here?
