Why all so worried about a Makeshift fence?? i cannot understand...it's so easy to make....i can destroy it when i'll have the claim and rebuild it if will decay..so easy to build....some branches and some fibre...and for now i have no dangerous animals in my place, remember i'm noob, one snake and i could die....

Makeshift isn't a big deal, but you never said what kind. Some people will start right in building a whole base with stone walls and the like with no claim and that is definitely just going to hurt later on. It takes a lot more material to repair a fence than it does to build it.

one snake and i could die

One snake and you could be koed, not die. It's not a drama and we have all experienced that. Work on your claim, it's the priority, it's my advice. and good luck

Maybe check which wiki you use. It is in the graphic over to the left. http://salemwiki.info/index.php/Makeshift_Fence

You repair inside the Adventure tab. The graphic is a building with a patch on the broken roof.

Thx man...i can repair it only with some branches, thx. Bye

I missed the part about you having a makeshift fence. I was thinking of a stone hedge fence which costs a TON of granite to repair and it's soooo annoying to get, hence why even building one without a claim is a pointless endeavor.

As for the cost, depends on the fence. Probably branches but where it might cost 1 branch to build a makeshift wall segment, it will cost 1 branch per 1% of repair... so if your fence is at 80% decay, you'll need 20 branches to repair ONE segment (a rough estimate since I haven't used a makeshift fence, I have however had to repair a stone wall and it ate up two entire granite rocks before it was repaired and that's with it only being down 40% or so due to remodeling). That's why people feel it's a waste of time to build fences without a claim to prevent decay. But if you don't mind putting the time and effort into it, have at it. But eventually you'll want some more security and a claim.

Thx all of you guys....however i'm new to the game, how can i build a stone wall or stuff like that...of course i built a makeshift fence, it also looks cool...
And is not too big, maybe 15x30...i worked on it about 10-20 minutes, and if the repair cost will be too high, i will destroy and rebuild it.
I think is cool at the start of the game having your little place with fences and gates....it's nice to make...and this is because i made it.
However i'm working a lot, and i have just bought my first claim....200 silver, really expensive for me....it cover only a bit of my place, but as soon as the cotton will grow, maybe i could expand it. Thx for the advices, one more question, but decay will keep happening also on the claim land??

P.S. Untill now, no decay on my stuff...i checked it.Bye

Yeah, i have just experienced twice....damn snake, i have to learn the right time to stomp them... i ran into my fence and i have killed him with my slingshot, but he poisoned me first, at least they drop some cool stuff...Bye man.

Decay doesn't happen on a claim. That's one of the main reasons to get one. The other being that they force people to commit crimes to steal from your containers.
