I was testing some stuff after the recent report.

What about this:



after destroying 1 wall:



is this intended ?

Any other object blocks the splash damage, this makes tree walls really weak.

not sure what the bug is here. the splash can affect a number of tiles within range. In this case the second post was in range of the splash from the first. The tree is irrelevant since it is not a wall type.

Thanks, for me it is a big issue, i did expected the tree's would block the splash damage.

I mean if a simple building post (pile of wood) can block it and a shift fence, why shoudn't a tree block the splash damage ?

I wasn't aware objects could block splash damage other than greater wall types. To me that sounds like an exploitable bug.

Tree walls aren't meant to be "strong" or "weak." They're meant to be a way to slow raiders down for really cheap as it's easier to grow a tree than to actually build a wall. Add in that it can potentially take more time to cut the tree down and remove the stump than break through a wall. (Still an unintentional mechanic, I think, and just a matter of time before it sees some sort of nerf.)
