Stone walls seem pointless

[RaidzeroAU]

as the title states, stone walls etc seem pointless atm as they have the same health as a wood wall. really doesn't make sense that a stone wall does not have more 'strength' than a wood wall. If you are wanting a 'stone tier' in the base building then there needs to be some incentive to use it rather than just for cosmetic reasons.

[Myst?c]

higher resistence, that or just whats easier for a player to build iwth

[Halogen]

Takes much longer to destroy a stone wall compared to a wood one. Different structures in the game have different resistences. Which can be confusing.

It's still dino proof, just doesn't require that damned cement paste that metal does. Sure it doesn't take C4 as good as metal, but it's a good tier. Looks good so far. I plan to build out of stone instead of metal.

[Armitage Shanks]

All tiers of building materials have the same hitpoints. It's the same with thatch vs wood. The difference is in their resistances.

thanks for the replies, looks like i'll be continuing on with some stone walls then :)

[EnragedN3wb]

Dino proof? Check. Higher armor than wood? Check.

I'll definitely be using stone once the rest of it comes out. It looks soooo much better than metal visually imo. Even if it is a little weaker. :D

So let see because stone has same hp as wood stone is useless? Lets continue with that reasoning: Metal walls have the same hp as wood metal walls are useless!

The thing is as the others previously said they have different resistances and if I'm not mistaken I also saw tests that stone walls are immune to dino attacks just like metal. But can still be damaged by metal tools/weapons. Where metal only can get damaged by explosives in theory.

Nothing is safe that isn't metal

You are just silly.

The real advvantage is that stone walls take some resources investment to kill, wooden and below can all die without any real cost to the attacker besides time. a pike does 2 damage to a stone wall so good luck taking it down with one lol

stone has more durability then wood, metal has more durability then stone. prior to 180 (don't know now, haven't tested / seen test). Stone walls took longer then wood walls to destroy with explosives, and less then metal.

Be careful, though. I've heard that explosives damage them much more than wooden structures. So if you have high lvl players around raiding people, you may consider to go straight for metal...

I've heard this too, have yet to test.
But if it is I hope it's a bug as it would be unrealistic (wood structures would be far more susceptible to an explosion than stone ones irl)
If anything they should have the same or slightly more resistance to explosives.

Hope that's still the case, seems perfectly reasonable.

Is that since 180.1? Because I can confirm that stone walls had half the explosive resistance of wood in the 179-series. Haven't had a chance to test since 180.

Metal isnt safe. Nothing is other than alt-f4 and uninstall lol
