[tip]Use the pipe as wall
hi ! after seing my turret being destroyed one by one , and seing the creeper avoid the "civil" building when are shooted by turret , i have a idea :
Make whall path of low-cost "civil" building
first i try to use furnace , but they make hole between furnace
after ,i try Chest , but they cost lot in wood , and we can't make mass-production of wood
and finaly i tested the pipe , and it's very very very efficient , cost only 1 iron and are pefect for this job
here a screenshot
as you can see , the creeper folow the path like stupid sheep XD

yep, we're hoping to have an actual wall (made from stone) soon, I think the devs are just waiting on some graphics for it

I also saw them breaking trough pipes (but not yet trough furnaces) when the detour was too long

Re: [tip]Use the pipe as wall
Creepers will break anything if they ases that going around would take to long. I even saw creaper making path through the forest (choping trees) just to get to me.
Re: [tip]Use the pipe as wall
Creepers can hit walls, but they wont hit pipes, so cheatah!

They will also hit pipes. But it all depends on your current position.ficolas wrote:Creepers can hit walls, but they wont hit pipes, so cheatah!
Don't belive me? Build large pipe and then stand somewhere near the pipes so crepers come from other side and you will see.

Re: [tip]Use the pipe as wall
they hit pipe if the thing is too long , but one the second screen shot , the path is long but they don't break (expect when they are too many to pass in 1block size (arround 200 Crepper ))
