upgrading your wood work..

[darthdraken]

Will it be possible to upgrade the fences you have already placed once you level up the skill instead of having to rip it all down to replace with better walls?

I'd like to see them add that.

I don't know about this. Crappy fences are most probably build completely crappy, so it makes sense that when you want to improve them, you tear them down and build better ones from scratch. Improving a crappy fence would not really result in a good fence, but in an improved crappy fence that's somewhat better than earlier

 

OTOH it's not fun at all to knock fences down to replace them, and worse, you loose a lot of material while doing it.

I'd rather just cut out the middleman and make it all one action. Choosing to upgrade the structure requires a crowbar and sees you tearing down the existing structure before rebuilding it back up. Costs half the supplies you would use to build a new wall from scratch because you're reusing what doesn't break from the deconstruction.

I like this a lot.

I like Kajin's suggestion. It's the best compromise and keeps everyone happy. Nobody likes shoddy work and seeing barricades that look like a** offends my vacationing work ethic.

While I know we all want to save materials, I think knocking shoddy contstruction down and rebuilding is the only way to go.  We are only talking about what, 3 planks and 4 nails?  If you want to take a level three fence and reinforce it... add barricades.

 

I think there is a mod out there for graffiti, if you think upgrading means adding that bit of urban charm.
