A couple questions from a returning player

Hey everyone, I bought kenshi a long, long time ago, played it for a good bit, then dropped off to let it simmer for a bit, and came back to give it another try, however I'm seeing some issues I thought were supposed to be fixed.

First (well only): Walls. Judging by the forums here, they're not supposed to be sieves any more, letting anyone through them in spots, is that correct? I've got one wall piece that is acting like it's not there.

Related: is there a way to terrain the ground? It seems like i'm on a slight incline, which is what I think is giving my wall fits. It let me build it, but I think the characters are going "under" the wall.

walls are part of the pathing engine.
the pathing engine is still an issues in the default build and the experimental. though in the experimental it is vastly improved and rebuilding navmesh works 98% when fixing the sieves pathing issues around walls. As you know since you been a long time player that walls have been a issues since they were first added, then re added some time later.

The terrain sounds like it will be static and un modifiable. there have been discussions around that about allowing platforms to be built under any object to make them level.

Thanks hatsune, I actually ran away before "proper" walls were even introduced. I had put ~ 70 hours into it and let it simmer for a few years. I'll try the navmesh thing (but shouldnt that be redone when you load the game in the first place?)
