They are however extremely weak and can rarely enable predators to eat your farm animals. This risk of predation increases as pen sizes goes up and the chance of a predator randomly walking in gets higher. |
Fences slow movement and cannot be stood on. This can be useful for slowing the enemy without providing much cover, and for blocking one side of [[wall]]s, [[barricade]]s or [[sandbags]] to deny their usage to the enemy. However, fences are not durable and can be easily destroyed during firefights. Not so useful for the mouth of a [[killbox]], but useful in the pathways leading up to it. | Fences slow movement and cannot be stood on.
