How to place fortified walls in Map Editor?
How do I lay down existing walls in the map editor? I'm trying to accurately edit a prison building which is inaccurately rendered as a single structure, but in the "barrier" options I can only choose from farm fences, low garden walls, hedges and bollards. Do I need to tag the structure in a special way to make it work?

Edit:
I loaded up the map for Windsor Castle and found that "city_walls" were available in the barrier options, but they are still missing from the editor when I load the city I'm trying to alter. I'm assuming that the city wall asset wasn't loaded because it was not yet used in the map generation, but I have no idea how to add it...

If I'm not mistaken, the tag system for building walls, I don't remember the tag, I corrected this on my map because my survivors get stuck due to the height.

I did play around with the tagging system. I presumed I just needed to add the tag "barrier" and value "city_walls", but it didn't work.

In the current Map loader, you can not add Fortified walls. Or any other tower or sort. You may only add buildings, Roads, Biomes and so on. But no actual Fortified walls. If you want make a wall, you have to just make simple 1x4 building, but it does not look as good.

So if you don't want to be lazy and waste many mins to just build one single wall, then l am unfortunate to say, your out of luck.

I'm assuming you mean you can't add them into loaded files? If you open a map with any old castle/fort it'll allow you to place the stone wall as a barrier/way. However, those same kinds of barriers do not appear in maps that don't already use them in map generation.

Those are consider by game either "buildings, or other" and are usually hand made.And yes there is no other way to make them other then cloning them, otherwise its impossible with the current editor.

Unless again, you wish to spent time making them by hand. But its indeed sad there is no like fence of prebuild simple fences or tiny walls to use.
