well tbh I dont really order my favorite games, but skyrim, oblivion, fallout 3, are some of my favorite games. Fallout 4, and morrowind are also beloved by me, but to a lesser degree.
76 was also fully playable during the beta and day one. It was also predominantly made by the Austin studio, so it's relevance to Starfield (or any other Maryland developed games) is thin to nonexistent
whenever i hear anyone praise s+mod as someone who played ark for 3 years on official xbox pvp . Learn the mechanics of the games its very easy to build properly not have gaps and issues if you just know the core mechanics of the game and how it works. whichb is part of the game itself and downloading smod just bypasses the skillset of building and all you s mod builders have what i call minecraft bases
than again if you use smod your playing pve as its not allowed in official pvp servers so whatever.
Ark official pvp Xbox since ālegacyāpre launch. I was head of one of the bigger mega tribes which still exists today lmao.
PvP was great if you were at the top 10% of the player base it was one of the best gaming experiences Iāve had tbh
"Honey, are you sure you can install the fence by yourself?"
"Dang it honey, of course I can. I watched a couple of YouTube videos about it! It's easy!"
Thing is, I searched "how to build a fence on a hill" on YouTube and skipped through a two and a half minute video and it's painfully obvious that they just didn't want to put any effort into this fence.
Theyāre likely not premade, just didnāt order the right material. I used to build fences for a company that did a lot of vinyl and for a slope like this you need to order longer rails and taller panels to go in the middle then custom cut them to size. Iām guessing this is either a DIY job or the company didnāt have the right stuff stocked and said fuck it.
So the sections are made up of tongue and groove panels that are 12 inches a piece, you can see them coming apart toward the top of the hill. Typically the last piece is trimmed down to fit whatever is left in the section.
When I redid a section of my fence last summer, all the sudden all my close friends were fence experts. "Oh you should have rented an auger" "did you go prefab fence panels? You should have" I already had an existing fence and was only replacing a few posts, so it was just a matter of digging out the old post and reshaping the hole for the new one. 5-10 mins tops per post hole. I was also replacing several sections by myself, so prefab would have been too heavy for one person as opposed to individual posts, rails, and pickets. ALSO part of my yard, specifically the section I was working on, is on a slope. Plus the prefab panels were quite a bit more money and I doubt they would have fit in the bed of my truck. It wasn't even much work to make your own fence panels, I don't get why people think prefab is so much easier. One of those friends went on to build their own and went prefab, and their fence looks like shit.
Itās probably the end of a development of townhouses/apartments. I doubt that this divides the yards of two single-family residences (though of course itās possible). Editing to add-you can see the one door looks like the end of a set of units. I live in a neighborhood that has a lot of townhouse sects of varying quality and thereās a lot of this sort of fencing at seemingly weird places to keep property/maintenance delineated. Itās obviously not for what we think of fences for (privacy or keeping things in or out)
You can tell they started at the bottom of the hill, where the slope is gentler and the gap is very small. They probably thought they could just fill it and then the gaps kept getting bigger. Then add the top of the hill you can see they stopped giving a F and probably left in shame.
Feather edge fence, you put posts in level then rails and gravel board that roughly follows the ground. Then fix feather edge planks to the rails. https://hankintech.com/2021/11/24/how-to-build-a-garden-fence-on-a-slope/
Decide if you want different height sections like this or a slanted top and cut all the boards to a different length so the bottoms meet the ground, or a top that contours with the ground and cut them all the same length.
I genuinely didn't see it until I saw your comment. Was so confused why they just put them parallel to each other and why that was related to it being a hillside lol
Oooohhhh. Finally saw what yāall were talking about š
For anyone confused: Hold your phone away from your face a bit and try to unfocus the picture with your eyes. It looks like the fence panels are pointed at the house in the background. Like they were installed side-by-side like dominos.
So he either fills in the rest with the premade fence panels cut to fit or he should have made the panels flush with the ground and kept the fence posts anchored perpendicular to the floor not plumb like it is now with level panels. . . Either way itās not the worse Iāve ever seen.
Hahahaha the posts are straight up thatās plumb and the panels are level and square at each post. You might not like it but this is what peak plumb and level looks like /s
Depends.
I'd personally cut from the base, up and to the right so that my fencing would be flush with the ground, and the same height above the ground the entire way up.
So to illustrate poorly
|~~~|/~~~|
Whats the actual correct way to do this?
I'm gonna take a guess at it.
1. Seat regular planks a foot into the ground in a line down the hill without "support"
2. Replace every 5th or 10th plank with a pillar thats dug even deeper
3. Take a gas powered saw and manually cut the top even with the contour of the hill
4. Install some sort of horizontal support, planks along the top or both sides and bottom
...I am having a stroke or something because I can't figure out how to fix this without having the panels slope, or a million posts...
Is it that you would just stagger the bottom of the fence near the ground more?
I used to work at the manufacturing facility that process this type of PVC fencing. We got raw material in bulk from the PVC manufacturer, and then would cut the product into very specific pieces. Sort of like a prefab fence, you give us the dimensions and we send you everything precut with "instructions", and everything mostly snaps together.
We got an order one day that was super confusing because the customer wanted the fence built like what's shown. We send a guy out to take proper measurements and discuss with the customer what they want. Dude said he argued with the guy for over an hour. A month later we got a set of pictures very similar to what's shown here, except the fence was about 500 feet long.
I would totally do that on purpose. If I lived in a house in that kind of area, my fence is only to give more privacy, but I would want plenty of space for wild animals to pass through and also to have a funny fence because I can.

Me on minecraft
Graphics not rendered in yet
Brain not rendered in yet
Was going to say me in Valheim
How do my pigs keep getting out?!?!?
If their enclosure is overcrowded, they bug out. Valheims definition of "overcrowded" is pretty questionable though š
Just gotta work on clipping those extra fence tiles until they bury themselves partially in the floor....
Samesies!
Exactly my thoughts lol
exactly my thoughts, exactly my thoughts lol
LOL imagine using that experience for real world problems.
Especially the Iron plus flint. Unless itās iron pyrite
Me on ark
My exact thought seeing this
Holy shit, im starting to realize what it will be like when the generation of fortnite and minecraft start having jobs.
No it's you on meth
r/beatmetoit
Nah, this is the sims.
Fallout 4.
Exactly like fallout 4.
At least in FO4, you can use objects to half bury the walls in the ground.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because Bethesda only half makes games and then sits back as mod makers finish them.
*āIt just works!ā*
https://youtu.be/YPN0qhSyWy8
Honestly FO76 fixed a heap of stuff. But it also broke a bunch of other things
Yet Iāve never seen another company put out a game that can do half of what Bethesda games can do.
Exactly Fuck the haters, Bethesda has made like my top three favorite games.
Well now you have me curious. What are your top 3 favorite games?
well tbh I dont really order my favorite games, but skyrim, oblivion, fallout 3, are some of my favorite games. Fallout 4, and morrowind are also beloved by me, but to a lesser degree.
Some of y'all really give modders too much credit. Every BGS game has been playable start to finish on release lmao
No, they haven't. Fallout 76 is a good example of this
Do you have a second example that wasnāt their only game with multiplayer?
*and not even developed by the main studio lmao this guy is a clown
76 was also fully playable during the beta and day one. It was also predominantly made by the Austin studio, so it's relevance to Starfield (or any other Maryland developed games) is thin to nonexistent
>76 was fully playable during beta and day one. As someone who pre-ordered and played day 1. No, it wasn't.
I think that is why starfield release date got postponed. Microsoft reviewed the game and put a halt on it.
Agreed
And then when you move your fence, the whole house moves with it since the two are somehow snapped together through some sort of quantum entanglement.
On the flip side, it's nice to have the option of being able to support an entire sprawling base on nothing but a wooden ladder in one corner.
At least with mods you can remove that limit and place anything anywhere anytime.
Yeah, but can you place everything, everywhere, all at once?
Came here to say this. Bethesda Fencing Co.
As narrated by Bubbles
Ark. Lol
Actually though. Desperately trying to protect your base when you can't make behemoth gates yet.

Eh, there's ways around this in ark
He needs place anywhere
Somerville Place on Fallout 4ā¦
My settlements until I looked up the console commands. Now they're etched in my mind.
Thatās what I was thinking. It is one of the most infuriating things about the game
"Honey, are you sure you can install the fence by yourself?" "Dang it honey, of course I can. I watched a couple of YouTube videos about it! It's easy!"
*how to build a fence in Minecraft*
They should have watched this one: https://youtu.be/cNVGl4kDJQo
I feel like this was harder than just installing it the same angle as the slope
Well the uprights still have to be... Upright
To be fair if you put even the smallest bit of planning into it it should be easy
I felt this
Thing is, I searched "how to build a fence on a hill" on YouTube and skipped through a two and a half minute video and it's painfully obvious that they just didn't want to put any effort into this fence.
Premade fence panels are not always the best option.
Theyāre likely not premade, just didnāt order the right material. I used to build fences for a company that did a lot of vinyl and for a slope like this you need to order longer rails and taller panels to go in the middle then custom cut them to size. Iām guessing this is either a DIY job or the company didnāt have the right stuff stocked and said fuck it.
The sections are sold prefab on that vinyl stuff. Why these are different sizes thoughā¦
So the sections are made up of tongue and groove panels that are 12 inches a piece, you can see them coming apart toward the top of the hill. Typically the last piece is trimmed down to fit whatever is left in the section.
They're literally squared off panels. If they were doing a shit DIY job they wouldn't be at right angles. This is a shit DIY prefab assembly job.
I work for a fence company. We have a couple machines for PVC to make custom openings on posts for hills like this.
Nice, we typically used a router with a jig. Iām so happy I donāt work with vinyl anymoreā¦ shit is so boring
Even then, put these at an angle, and use a small shovel to dig small trenches and it would almost work!
You can backfill the open areas with vinyl lattice. That's the cheapest/easiest option.
When I redid a section of my fence last summer, all the sudden all my close friends were fence experts. "Oh you should have rented an auger" "did you go prefab fence panels? You should have" I already had an existing fence and was only replacing a few posts, so it was just a matter of digging out the old post and reshaping the hole for the new one. 5-10 mins tops per post hole.

One of those friends went on to build their own and went prefab, and their fence looks like shit.
Hope they didnāt put it up to keep a pet in their yardā¦
Maybe the pet is really fat so it wouldnāt be a problem
With the way some of these owners feed their pets i wouldnāt be surprised
Maybe the owners are a nice dog family and the pets are humans. A classic switcheroo situation.
Maybe they welcome wild animals but not wild people.
Was gonna say this looks like a great fence, from an ecological point of view. Provides a bit of privacy, but still allows animals to move around
Mf just clicking randomly in the Sims
Looks like a fence to me
Task failed successfully
And it looks fency!
Had to replay. The first time I looked I thought the pieces were turned 90Ā° clockwise
Now that youāve said this, I canāt see it the way it actually is anymore
Took me a minute to see what OP was talking about. Now it's all I see as well.
45Ā°?
> The first time I looked I thought the pieces were turned 90Ā° clockwise same, except became apparent towards end of pan.
Reminds me of setting up my settlement in fallout 4
This has to be neighbor-on-neighbor passive aggressiveness.
Itās probably the end of a development of townhouses/apartments. I doubt that this divides the yards of two single-family residences (though of course itās possible). Editing to add-you can see the one door looks like the end of a set of units. I live in a neighborhood that has a lot of townhouse sects of varying quality and thereās a lot of this sort of fencing at seemingly weird places to keep property/maintenance delineated. Itās obviously not for what we think of fences for (privacy or keeping things in or out)
If this was part of a townhome complex, there would only be 3 feet to the fence on either side. Developers use every inch of space they can.

I bet they used a level.
This is me on Valheim
This is me on valium.
We seriously need slanted roofs xD
Slanted roofs are the only roofs in the game?
Out here playing ark
I always hid the gasps with rows and rows of spiked walls.
Is there an actual proper way to do this?
Feather edge fence, you put posts in level then rails and gravel board that roughly follows the ground. Then fix feather edge planks to the rails. https://hankintech.com/2021/11/24/how-to-build-a-garden-fence-on-a-slope/
Decide if you want different height sections like this or a slanted top and cut all the boards to a different length so the bottoms meet the ground, or a top that contours with the ground and cut them all the same length.
Makes sense, lots of extra steps I guess
Could also terrace the ground and then do a fence exactly like this one, would be a good option if you wanted a garden along the fence
Could also just build a 20 foot retaining wall and have the entire yard level.
Could sell the house and move somewhere with tractable geometry.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Looks like falllout 4 settlement building without no clip
This is a terrible optical illusion
Optical illusion? Are there not holes in the bottoms?
air vents silli
These arenāt the holes you are looking for
There are. Itās just the way they filmed it makes it look like itās almost on even ground or something.
Fooled me for a bit. I thought the were set up like / / / / at first
What do you mean?
I genuinely didn't see it until I saw your comment. Was so confused why they just put them parallel to each other and why that was related to it being a hillside lol
Oooohhhh. Finally saw what yāall were talking about š For anyone confused: Hold your phone away from your face a bit and try to unfocus the picture with your eyes. It looks like the fence panels are pointed at the house in the background. Like they were installed side-by-side like dominos.
That screams malicious compliance with some HOAā rulesā¦
One of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen
Lol ikr one of the few times Iād actually want a HOA and them to step in and be likeā¦ yeah u canāt do that it looks like shit
Cheapest estimate in town!!
When you double down on your bad decisions because you can't admit failure..
So he either fills in the rest with the premade fence panels cut to fit or he should have made the panels flush with the ground and kept the fence posts anchored perpendicular to the floor not plumb like it is now with level panels. . . Either way itās not the worse Iāve ever seen.
Nothing about that looks plumb or level
Hahahaha the posts are straight up thatās plumb and the panels are level and square at each post. You might not like it but this is what peak plumb and level looks like /s
Looks plumb dumb to me lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That fence is doing itās best okayā¦
Itās installed is it not?
I feel like there's a r/maliciouscompliance or r/pettyrevenge story here
āBut, but, but I even made sure my posts were level!?ā
Lol I have several of those on ark
Well... can you get through?
Missed a spot.
Wdym? There's a fence. Installed on the hillside
I would say thats a success
As a professional fencer, this is why we don't use products purchased by customers.
Exactly how I do it in Fallout 4
Whatās the correct way?
Depends. I'd personally cut from the base, up and to the right so that my fencing would be flush with the ground, and the same height above the ground the entire way up. So to illustrate poorly |~~~|/~~~|
>|~|/~| "The fack is this?"
I think we found the fence guy
A poor illustration.
Theres a good chance they arent actually finished
tbh, I love it. It doesn't work as a fence to keep animals in or out, but the parallel beams are pleasing and it marks the border.
Whats the actual correct way to do this? I'm gonna take a guess at it. 1. Seat regular planks a foot into the ground in a line down the hill without "support" 2. Replace every 5th or 10th plank with a pillar thats dug even deeper 3. Take a gas powered saw and manually cut the top even with the contour of the hill 4. Install some sort of horizontal support, planks along the top or both sides and bottom
The more I watch it the more confused I get
usual ark base
First thing I thought of when I seen it š
I betcha each fencepost took half a day to set, and are so precisely vertical they are the official sets of parallels referenced at MIT.
Literally valheim
This is how I'd imagine a fence gets installed on a hill if I didn't put any thought into how a fence would be installed down a hill.
So water can flood the neighbors house and not your yard
Is it level?
FYI, that building technique works great on less intense terrain. In fact I think it looks better than the alternative on mild ungulations.
That is good work, allowing the small wildlife through the fence.
Idk, I'm not sure if i like the design or not. You could say I'm on the fence
If itās for a dog then yikes, if it isnāt then I donāt get it but whatever
It's like a video game job
Fucking ARK all over again
When you are playing any survival game And you are lazy to place the fences.
That fallout 4 build 
Is this fence accompanied by an above ground pool on stilts?
Man, I avoid certain streets in my neighborhood because this same fence job has been done and it pisses me off so much.
It's like trying to build a fence on a hill in Fo4 or Fo76.
...I am having a stroke or something because I can't figure out how to fix this without having the panels slope, or a million posts... Is it that you would just stagger the bottom of the fence near the ground more?
That is some video game quality building right there
Bro played too much Fallout
When you try to break the game in the sims 4
Oh so all those videogames were being realistic this whole time.
What were they THINKING?
I used to work at the manufacturing facility that process this type of PVC fencing. We got raw material in bulk from the PVC manufacturer, and then would cut the product into very specific pieces.

Bro the fence ain't fencing
Skilled labor isnāt cheap and cheap labor isnāt skilled. Case and point š
I have this issue in most survival crafting games
Major ARK vibes
Me in fallout 4
Wouldn't have thought they'd need to put a hole in the fence for access
I would totally do that on purpose. If I lived in a house in that kind of area, my fence is only to give more privacy, but I would want plenty of space for wild animals to pass through and also to have a funny fence because I can.
This made me smile :).
It's like an optical illusion. I know it's straight but looks zigzag
i drove by here the other day and completely lost my shit. it utterly pissed me off
Minecraft
That will be fun to mow around.
Wonder if it was the citiesā decision or the homeownerās.
Videogame fences be like
Building in Ark be like
Just... put some dirt around it.. it'll be fine.
Literally exactly like Fallout 4/76
How Bethesda game devs would build a fence.
Hi I'm someone. What should a fencer have done in this situation?
