please decrease the build time for treehouse foundations to be the same as other foundation blocks. waiting around for a minute for no reason is a bit pointless.

thanks,

The treehouse foundation has a larger footprint than other foundation blocks, equaling six triangle foundations. It makes sense that building one would be slower than a single triangle foundation.
Agreed that does make since and it makes it easier to build on trees than using 6 blocks
if the logic is 6-triangles == 6 times as long…
then it should have 6 times the HP. it doesn’t.
hell, it uses 6 times the resources… only 100k HP.
similar to gates. 3x4 vertical area but the HP is only 200k, or 2x T3 foundation blocks.
it’s HP should be 3x4 foundations or 12x 100k
and the gate door… 32k. what’s with that?!?
The gates are ok with that, the reason is obvious, the weak point of every defense should be the doors as it was in real life, so it makes sense the reduced hp on them.
About the tree foundation, I don’t really know, maybe the problem is, if the hp was too high, it would become too hard to destroy it, I mean 1 foundation with 600k is 100 times more difficult to destroy than 6 foundations with 100k, I don’t know, maybe 200k could be an optimal solution
look at the mats / HP between arena door and arena gate door.
arena door:
cost: 4x shaped wood, 3x steel nails
size: 1x1
HP: 25000
arena gate door:
cost: 4x shaped wood, 3x steel nails, 15x hardened brick
size: 3x3
HP: 32500
at a minimum, the gate should be 3x+ the HP of a normal door as it takes up 9x the space
More space != more health, it’s a balancement issue, how many hp should have a gate? From your math 75k, that is more than a wall…
I think you need more knowledge about the game before getting mad on these things 
There are advantages and disadvantages to different building pieces beyond material costs and hitpoints. The Treehouse foundation block is limited to that one shape, which naturally limits the shapes of buildings you can build out of it. It extends Stability further from the snapping point on a tree or cliffside than six triangle pieces would.
With the gate logic, you’re forgetting that the hitpoints of walls above the first floor won’t matter because if you blow up the first floor, the rest come down too, unless you have something else supporting them (in which case you need to add the material costs and hitpoints of those extra support pieces into the equation, too). Gates should be compared to walls, rather than foundation pieces anyway, due to their nature.
There are more moving parts to the building system than just basic math.
the logic i was using was basing off ‘1 tree foundation == 6 triangles so build times should equate’.
i was also working from the builder/defender stand point and trying to maximize/prevent offlining the base.
trying to defend against someone rolling up with 50+ jars when you’re not there is a pain
I haven’t got round to trying the treehouse option yet, but maybe the hp is due to treehouse foundations being harder to reach and therefore harder to damage?
Maybe it’s just semantics.
But asking for an increase is saying please make it take longer.
However the body of the post seems to indicate you would like it to take less time or reduce the time.
The header should read please reduce the build time if you want to be able to make the foundation faster.
yes, it was early. sorry. decrease the time, not increase.
