thor's hammer question..

Does it always destroy everything in his path no matter how many floors/walls u have? And does material matter clay block / stone block? I had few encounters so I cant exactly tell if anything matters.

I am not sure. I know it will hit trees and kill them. I have had some building/roof damage done, but so far nothing underground was damaged to my knowledge. The damage I have seen done was to a single layer roof and a single layer wall, with nothing inside damaged.

Edit: I remember reading in the devs info something about a flammability setting for the future, so it may be that wood/straw buildings may catch fire with lightning strikes.

Well lets hope that my 3 layer buildings will not get raped by the hammer :/ Coz for now he is striking around them, I am also planing to test and move away my iron stock a bit just to see if that has any effect since I seen on the forum that settlers were struck if wearing plate armor.

Personally I think I will come to grips with flammability but Water is a concern coz if he makes it realistic we should then need to wall all our basements and mining will be trolled by rain but at least green thumbers will be happy for more realistic gardening simulation I guess XD
