Fences are low barrier pieces that enclose outdoor areas without the cost or full height of a Wall. Windrose offers ten fence pieces, including standard fences, hinged gates, palisades, and rope fences. They belong to the decoration and boundary layer of the building menu.
Piece | Cost | Max HP | Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
Fence (Sticks) | Plant Fiber x1 | 750 | Woven Pillars and Beams |
Fence (Logs) | Wood x2 | 750 | Timber Pillars, Beams, and Fences |
Gate (Logs) | Wood x4 | 1,000 | Timber Pillars, Beams, and Fences |
Palisade (Logs) | Wood x3 | 1,500 | Palisade Walls and Gates |
Rope Fence | Plant Fiber x3 | 750 | Automatically unlocked |
Fence (Stone) | Stone x5 | 750 | Mahogany Staircases and Railings |
Fences are waist-height and can be jumped over by both players and most AI enemies. They are purely decorative for base defense. Walls are full-height and block movement entirely.
For defensive enclosures use Palisade (Logs) or the Stockade category instead of fences. Palisades are taller and have much higher Max HP (1,500 versus 750).
Most fence pieces are cheap and meant for early bases. The Fence (Sticks) costs a single Plant Fiber and the Rope Fence unlocks automatically, so both are available on the first island. Log and palisade pieces use Wood, while the stone variant uses Stone. All standard fences carry 750 Max Health; the Palisade (Logs) is the outlier at 1,500.
Plans gate the sturdier pieces. The Timber Pillars, Beams, and Fences plan teaches the log fence and log gate, the Palisade Walls and Gates plan teaches the palisade, and the stone fence is bundled with the Mahogany Staircases and Railings plan. The starter Woven Pillars and Beams plan covers the basic stick fence.
Gate (Logs) is a hinged fence piece that opens and closes, just like a door. Place it at the access point of a fenced area. It works with Palisade walls as well as log fences.
Use Fence (Sticks) for pens and farm-plot boundaries on any starter island. Cheap, fast, and the Woven Pillars and Beams plan is automatic.
Rope Fence is the signature pier-side look. Pair with Piers for a coherent dockside aesthetic.
Palisade (Logs) is much sturdier than regular fences and is the right choice for defensive camp boundaries.
Do not rely on fences to keep enemies out. Use Stockades for outpost defense; fences are aesthetic only.
Gates (Logs) only open from a specific side. Plan the hinge direction before committing to the plan.
