On this post I will guide you on a few tips that my friend Akumu gave me. And they also have diagrams so you can follow them too.
Tip #1
Tower Enclosure
Tip #2
Town Hall Enclosure
Tip #3
PATHING #1
I always remember this guide when I am making a yard... Info from DAVE the developer:
You may have problems figuring it out because most updates I tweak it to try to improve it so the rules change slightly. The basics are this:
1. Monsters first look for the closest buildings (by the line of sight)
2. They Then figure out the path to the 3 closest.
3. They then take the path that is the shortest.
4. While walking they repeat the above 3 steps every now and then (in case the path they take takes them closer to another target)
The reason they don't find the path to all buildings as it would be extremely CPU intensive.
As for walls they move around them until the length of the detour is too great, how great depends on if the blocks are wood, stone, metal, or gold. They are unaware of the health of the blocks and they do not calculate the time to destroy a block vs walking around it (they don't look at blocks HP / their speed / their damage and the distance needed to travel) and they don't take into account how many other monsters maybe there to help them (10 crabs will walk as far as 1 crab even though they could ake down a wooden block quickly)
But don't worry, I have some things in the works and as I said we are always tweaking the pathing to make it less annoying and more predictable.
Tip #4
PATHING #2
Vertical Pathing:
1 layer of wooden blocks path monsters by 19 steps OR critical length of 6 blocks
1 layer of stone blocks path monsters by 21 steps OR critical length of 8 blocks
1 layer of silver blocks path monsters by 23 steps OR critical length of 10 blocks
1 layer of golden blocks path monsters by 25 steps OR critical length of 12 blocks
1 layer of black diamond blocks path monsters by 31 steps OR critical length of 14 blocks
Horizontal Pathing:
1 layer of wooden blocks path monsters by 19 steps OR critical length of 5 blocks
1 layer of stone blocks path monsters by 21 steps OR critical length of 7 blocks
1 layer of silver blocks path monsters by 23 steps OR critical length of 9 blocks
1 layer of golden blocks path monsters by 25 steps OR critical length of 11 blocks
1 layer of black diamond blocks path monsters by 29 steps OR critical length of 13 blocks
That's all the tips for this post. Here's part 2. I hope the tips open up your inner BYM base designing skills.
