it will be work in 1.6

Does this work in 1.6?

The dude is alive. He might revive. Fork would be fine tho.

This was my favorite barbed wire mod out of the bunch. I would love an update to 1.6!

1.5 and 1.6 next? ;)

ah did you ever get to adding that menu? I love this sprite/functionality out of the like 5 barbed wires available on workshop but man are these too powerful..

Updated to 1.3 and 1.4!

Since this mod is reported working in 1.3 I've added it to the No Version Warning-mod
https://steamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2599504692
Hope it helps!

Mod works in 1.3, tested it for many hrs

Works just fine in 1.3 and I see no errors in the log either

great. Now I just need dig a trench and set up a machine gun to make my home looks like a bunker in year 1914. LOL

@Duccel
Yeah, that's just how the game core works. Same works for chunks and sandbags.
Just always leave an empty tile between each row like x || x || x || x
The the game will think that each row is separated

is it only suppose to slow the pawn's movement for the first row maybe two? then they go to normal movement speed?

<3 Thanks very much great mod

Updated to 1.2!

Please update to 1.2

I get a weird graphical glitch whenever I run underground gas pipes under the barbed wire. (From the vanilla furniture expanded - power mod) Otherwise, I love this mod!

@Boolyman

You only need a single tile space between your barbed wire and it works perfect. 10 in a row is enough to slow hordes by miles.... I made the mistake of putting about 30-40 in a corridor. Took em forever to reach the kill-box..

@wemd I noticed the same thing. The game likely uses what most games call "diminishing returns"... same thing you see when you try to chain stun mechanoids back to back to back... they become immune. You can't constantly slow the enemies. Leave occassional 4-5 tile gaps in your barbed wire trail to pause the game trying to apply the slow debuff, and you will get much better results.

@Wemd

Alrighty so. Thanks for responding!

@GearHawk
Oh yeah.
It's a feature of the game construction, so I can't control it anyhow

@Wemd
Sorry, I'll try explain a bit better:
I've made a maze essentially, so raids have to move very slowly through a long corridor before they get to my kill-box. Typically in vanilla, you will see people leave stone chunks along the hallways so pawns take ages to move over them. I thought I could achieve the same with the barbed wire, but for some reason they are only slowed as they initially enter the maze over the first piece of barbed wire, and then they move as normal throughout the rest of it.

Thinking about it now, it sounds like there's some bug where the game doesn't read the pawn as moving over new blocks of barbed wire when they've moved over the first one (if they're all connected). If your mods is using the same system as sandbags, It's probably the same so and an issue with the game, not your mod.

This is all just a guess..

@GearHawk
Not sure I understand you correct really.
Try same with sandbags and barricades from the original game - they should work same, because my mod uses the same system

Nice mod. But when I fill a long twisting hallway with barbed wire, pawns are only slowed when moving vertically. When moving horizontally, they aren't affected and move at normal speed. Is this a bug?

@Boolyman

Get RIMMSqol and edit it yourself. Takes a minute at most

I came back here to leave a comment, and I saw your last message, and for a second I got heated, forgetting that we were just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ around and I started it. HAHAHA But in anycase, now I see I already asked about the pathCost option.

@Boolyman
Go ♥♥♥♥ yourself!

Glad you like the mod!

Well ♥♥♥♥ you then!


I'm just playin. No worries, love the mod either way.

@Boolyman
I think it's technically possible, but I don't have time to learn how to make mod options now. So maybe later, but can't promise

Would it be at all possible to add a settings option for the pathCost? They are a bit too powerful for my personal taste right now... id like them to slow the enemies a bit less.

thank you for the update.

Update!

-The mod supports both 1.0 and 1.1 versions now.
-Barbed wire is 3 times more effecient now.

Oh, corners. Sorry. Lowercase R and N combine to look like a lowercase m. rn m

@Gar1onMina
Hmm...
When you have a Г-shaped corner the vertical and horizontal lines should be connected with wire or wall, or pawns will "fit" between not connecte lines

Thanks for responding.
What do you mean by 'keep the comems filled'?

@Gar1onMina
Nope
Just keep the cornerns filled or pawns will pass through them without being slowed.
And alway keep at least 1 empty cell between 2 parallel lines of wire, or the game will count them as 1

Does orientation of the barbed wire affect speed? Like do they move quicker along lines of them than moving perpendicular to the lines?

@Dedbob
Yeah, deconstruction only

Can the barbed wire be moved after it is placed? Or does it have to be deconstructed or rebuilt?

@Unisol
Yeah, pawn choose weird ways from time to time :)
You could use this mod to avoid that:
https://steamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=835555932&searchtext=path

Is pathCost really set to be 100 times regular soil? I routinely see raiders and colonists going through two barbed wire tiles instead of ~60-70 long path around barbed wire.

Other than that, I like it a lot. Combined with embrasures it really creates that 'defending the beaches of Normandy' feel.

@Red
Yes, exactly.
I absolutely agree :)

I don't think people realize how crazy powerful having passive damage traps is. Thanks for just making it a slow.

I agree minor damage would be a good addition, gonna wait on the download until its in

Only if you try to rush going through; I can attest that taking one's time can avoid damage irl.
Of course, you're very vulnerable to attack while doing it.....

Agreed, if it doesn't do at least minor damage then what's the point? You ever tried to walk through barbed wire? It's not pleasant, I promise you.

it should deal minor damage

Quick fix:
Damaged and destroyed wire doesn't leave pieces of sandbags anymore.

Oh sweet, thank you!

Thanks for the update!
