Describe the bug

Not being able to build fence/wall on terrain which has been observed to have those can lead to frustrations. There is sometimes no clear feedback to show something can't be build somewhere until after gathering the tools and materials needed (chickenwire fence doesn't show any necessary terrain in build menu).

Fire lookout towers use log walls on the main and top floors but players can't build any there since those require a shallow pit.

Wished the build menu displayed which terrain types something can be build on when it doesn't require a pit or another construction (for example fences show they require a fence post).
For log walls either remove the pit requirement or add another way to put down the first half on other terrain at the cost of more resources.

Granted there were more tools before the Cataclysm and some restrictions may not have applied back then.
Could be considered more of a nitpick than a bug.

Steps To Reproduce

Fire lookout tower

  1. Create world, spawn in, open debut menu, go into Map then Reveal map.
  2. Teleport to a fire lookout tower (optional go into Map then Kill all monsters), go to main floor (the one with furniture), spawn a shovel, two logs and three planks.
  3. Try to build a low wall on the wooden floor.

Chickenwire fence

  1. Same as above.
  2. Teleport to bakeries until one with fenced in chickens on the roof is found.
  3. Spawn a hammer, five planks and twenty nails.
  4. Try to build a chickenwire fence on the roof.
  5. Teleport to various other roofs and try to build a chicken wire fence on them.

Additional context

Could make a chicken pen on a roof entirely out of chickenwire gates in the meantime since those don't appear to have terrain restrictions.
