Mod for "disconnecting" walls from other walls?

Are there any mods for A17 which disconnect walls from other walls of diffrent type, as shown in the picture? (The mod in picture is from A8, since then discontinued).

Specifically, if I build a wooden wall, and I don't want it to continue and meld in with a granite wall? I understand that in the picture the build walls are disconnected from natural stone walls...  If there are not any mods which do this, what would it require to attempt that myself...?

Thanks!

Did you have a link to the thread for the A8 mod?

I could try to update it if it's done the way I suppose it is :D

Doing what that mod does should not be hard, just changing the linkFlags on the wall object to remove "Rock", (and maybe vise versa).

Stopping wooden walls that you build from connecting to granite wall that you build would would be a bunch harder because they are the same Wall, just made out of different stuff.

I think you would have to look into C# overrides that could get complex or make two different types of wall, cluttering up the build menu.

It couldn't clutter the build menu too badly since Structure has so few items to begin with. The easy way would be to completely duplicate the wall, give it a new thingDef, a new link flag, and maybe a new label (so you can distinguish them). So all of the original walls would connect to other original walls, but not new walls, and all of the new walls would connect to other new walls, but not original walls. You could even have a third wall that would connect both if you wanted to be extra precise about it...
