Whats the point of stone walls/fences NOW?

[Crimson King]

I get that they will add(probably)a stone tier, but why releasing stone walls and fences now?
You can build a big wall but the gate will be of wood, you can build a base, but foundations and door+doorframe still wood. I dont get why should i build stone things if building wooden ones is cheaper and faster

[BlueSkyBlackBird]

Because stone is about 12 times more resilient. Tried it with a metl pike on a walls. Wood takes 12 times the damage stone takes. And stone is not that much more expensive than wood. You might even argue that collecting stones is easier and faster than collecting wood ;)

[Crimson King]

i know mate, but again, if i want to raid a stone base i just go for the wooden door or destroy the dino wooden gate or hit the wooden foundation, you get it?

[Crimson King]

I can even destroy the wooden roof. I think they should add foundation, dino gate, roof and door/doorframe ASAP, its pointless to build stone walls atm

They said they were adding more, for the time being you could work on the metal versions at least.

[Rutherford]

They are going to add more. Right now it's useful for perimeter walls, which is why they have stone fence foundation. Though, till they add the stone dino gate/door/door frame, you're right.

[Ophias]

Did you read the pinned upcoming patch notes? This week they will add the full stone tier structures, like doors, ceilings, and so on.

[Phantasm98532]

There will be a full stone tier, including door's windows etc etc etc

[Uzi [OTG]]

You know, it looks good. Stone.

There is one point.
Besides it being more resilient.

I guess the people all worked up about this are PVP players.

If it isn't OP it sucks.

[Syd Khaos]

Not all the gates are wood ya know.....
Stone wall + Boheim gate = fort friggin knoxs!

[The Onion]

can dinos destroy stone walls?

[Reikonyx]

Whats the health/durability on a stone wall vs a wood wall? (I'm at work so i can't check yet)

Health is the same, it's the damage multiplier that changes, As of right now, Metal hatchets and tools only do 1 damage per swing, have not tested with a Dino yet.

The rest is coming this week. It's in the patch notes...

What he said. Read the patch notes OP
"- New Structures: Stone Walls/Fence Foundations (the first of a potential stone tier)"

1st, "potential" is not "we are adding a tier"
2nd, read the OP "I get that they will add(probably)a stone tier" before telling me to read patch notes.

3rd, for everyone, i asked WHY ADDING WALLS AND FENCES NOW instead of releasing all the stone tier in one pack. As it is now they are completely useless, because you have to close every set of walls with a wooden piece, so they re resilent but even a 2yo will go for the wooden door/gates/foundations etc.


So my question is. Is there any use for stone walls NOW?NOW, not next week
