Better Stakes makes stakes a viable defense option.
Stakes have never been a great option for base defense. Their damage is insignificant, and their resources are (mostly) lost when destroyed or even deconstructed to move them!
Dvergr stakes are useless against the tough enemies in the biomes they're intended to protect, especially compared to traps or the Ashlands stakewall.
Better Stakes allow you to deconstruct and rebuild stakes without losing any materials. They will drop their full resources when destroyed so you don't lose Core, Yggdrasil, or Ashwood.
You can configure a multiplier for each stake type's damage.
-- Fixed issue parsing stake damage on systems where decimal separator is not a period.
Stake Pieces: Pairs of comma separated prefab names and damage multipliers for stakes, separated by semicolons. Listed pieces will drop resources on destruction or deconstruction and multiply stake damage by the amount configured. @
Configuration items with descriptions ending in (@) are server authoritative.
You can use Configuration Manager (or similar) mod to change the configuration without exiting the game. You can force an update by editing the config file.
The Ashwood Stakewall is included to recover its resources, but the multiplier default is 1.0 since this piece already does significant damage!
Note you can potentially reduce damage by using a fractional multiplier (i.e., 0.5 would be half damage)
