Fence/Gate Placement Issue

[mdcyntst 0]

I've run into an issue I think could be easily addressed.  On Xbox - Official,  I consistently play on servers where a player(s) intentionally tries to gates all the water pumps with 4 gates and 4 locks.  It appears their goal is to gate every well on the map.  I don't easily recommend making the placement of items any more difficult, however I would suggest changing a setting?  The terrain, or some other option to make it much more difficult to enclose wells.

This particular 4 gate, 4 lock annoyance is rather problematic.  If you get over the gates, you can't disassemble them from the inside.  The only reasonable option is to pick the lock.  You can't disassemble a gate with a lock on it, even from the inside.  (this is another feature request - removing the wire (from the inside) should allow you to disassemble a gate from the inside regardless of the lock.)

I'm certain these users are dupping materials to locate all the nails, wire and locks.  They are just not that readily available.

I'm not sure the best channel for this suggestion.  I'm not privy to who is managing/configuring the xbox environment.  Microsoft, Bohemia, or someone else.  If it Microsoft, that'll be barking up a dead tree.  By making it a default config to not be able to place fences (within some distance) around wells would solve the issue and potentially push the config to Xbox.

 

Thanks for your efforts and attention.

 

Sincerely
