building material stats
now that we have scoria, bricks, reinforced steel, etc where can we see the strength, wind resistance etc of these so we can decide before unlocking the tech if we want to use the points there. Before the pieces were all bundled you could look at walls and see their stats, now I do not see that.
thanks for the help

Unfortunately, all I found was too general information like
https://icarus.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Building_Pieces
There is also something indicating stability (in an unspecified form) depending on the level of the storm

I made some scoria brick building pieces thinking it would look nicer than stone. When I held the repair hammer up, it showed to my surprise that the strength of the brick was less than stone, so I decided just to stay with the stone, a shame because I thought it looked better.

Scoria has better heat insulation then regular stone. That's why you use it the appropriate biome.

It's also a different cosmetic look. Sometimes I get tired of living in a medieval castle, and I like to build things that look a little more high tech. Concrete is ugly as sin, so bricks are a good compromise.

I made scoria, not scoria brick walls and they seemed to have better HP than stone like 3k vs 2500 but yeah I wish I could find something about how well or how poorly they stack up against weather etc. The scoria did look nice I must say. If I recall the concrete was like 4k but not sure.
