strongest block? iron wall?

[beerface]

hello I was wondering what the strongest block was. Is it the Iron wall block or the rebar frame with concrete, which makes renforced conrete block? thanks

[MadHatter]

the renforced conrete block is the strongist i think

well thats what i origionaly thought as well, but when would you want to make an iron wall block as it requires a lot more resources, Thus is why I thought the iron wall would be stronger?

The amount of resources a block requires doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best and that's especially true about the iron block vs the reinforced concrete.

Reinforced concrete has multiple breakdown stages (like 2 or 3) while the iron block only has one. These multiple stages give reinforced concrete a lot more durability and make them a lot stronger than an iron brick does.

Edit: Think of it like the wood frame. Fully upgraded, it has 3 upgraded states that a zed has to break before it can destroy the frame. It's the same for reinforced concrete.

Iron wall just needs iron. Reinforced concrete takes Iron,wood,gravel,stone/concrete. For building; the rebar can be picked up and moved so you can frame and adjust a build. If you place a iron wall you best hope thats were ya wanted it.
Even if iron is stronger; reinforced concrete is pretty impenetrable as it is unless you afk right next to the wall that 5 zombies are beating on.

I am trying all the blocks on my walls to see which ones the zombies attack the most and which have the worst damage. Will get back to forums with news.

The Iron Wall is SHINY!

Only wall, reflecting the environment.
I think, that is the price of the ingots.

I am aware of the break down stages, just never personally tried to see which one was stronger. I wasnt aware that the Iron block had one break down stage. Regardless, I also didnt know if the IRON blocks one break down stage was stronger than all three of the concrete's break down stages

using a flawless iron pick(purple) and full stamina i destroyed a iron block in 4 hits, I then destroyed a reinforced concrete block and i think it to 12 to 14 hits.

It's one breakdown stage is barely more than one of the breakdown stages of the reinforced concrete wall.
