Base destruction

As I look at how much work it's going to be to incorporate a brick wall into our existing town - and hear rumors about even more stronger walls - I wonder if part of the pvp arson patch can be a mechanism for easy self destruction of portions of our base.

The following ideas aren't great - but will get the conversation started:

1) A dynamite item from the NPCs? I guess raiders could use it too - but if expensive enough they shouldn't have an incentive to use it much

2) Mayor only right click destroy permissions

3) Destroy takes less phlegm when you have permissions on the claim

I am worried about this as well. The dynamite idea is awesome!

You are bad! I can see it now, just like when there is a tornado a county away and we start getting debris falling from the sky, we shall see debris falling in Boston. :shock:

I think he's just worried that if you ever need to redesign your base, you'll need to be a titan, or have to cannon your own place, if that becomes a thing.

Do you see anything illogical here?

I guess we'll just see how tough it'll be to take down the new walls getting added :)

No. My personal opinion is that we shouldn't have to plan for 6 different wall types in our initial layout.

I also think we shouldn't have to move to a new base once we want to upgrade a wall layer because it is so difficult to destroy one.
