Concrete stronger than stone

[Arkadus]

In this game is concrete's only upside to stone is the better insulation?

Seems weird that it offers no wind resistance being higher tier

1) Concrete is indestructible to bad weather.
2) Concrete is oddly warmer (this is important if you are building a house in cold regions)
3) On the basis of stone foundations, you can make a house with a height of approximately 10-11 floors, and on the basis of concrete foundations, 20-21. (main point)

As above.

Basically although it's not mentioned in the tooltip, concrete is weather proof.

However it's also worth noting that it's apparently 100% resistant to falling trees, this is not true, granted they do very little actual damage, they do break up the blocks to the point that there are holes in your base, so be sure to clear those nearby trees.

Preciate it. Just wish the tool tips were clearer

Is it an error that concrete railing uses aluminum?

[TheHellKat]

Nope, those are metal.

[Arkadus]

I get that. Just weird that they are using aluminum vs steel bars since thats the norm for other concrete recipes.

If you want a realistic reason - Exposed steel will rust and fall apart while aluminium doesn't. Whether or not that was the Dev's reasoning... /shrug

galvanized and stainless steel are also an option but I get your point. Preciate the help :)

[TheHellKat]

You can get steel railings too.
