wood and stone walls are the same

[Nemi]

wood and stone walls have the same health why bother going through all the effort of getting all that stone just for a wall that looks different and has the same health ?

[BillyNilly]

Do they TAKE dmg the same however?

[Ophias]

Because it's 12 times harder.

It is not about maximum health it is about durability which is a stat that is hidden to you. Stone walls take an amount of "damage" to break somewhere in between wood and metal like they should.

do you know how much health a metal wall has by chance ?

I think metal foundations have the same durability of wood, which doesn't mean they take the same kind of damage so it's probably harder to break stone structures compared to wood.

I would test the effectiveness of stone walls in a local server but I can't play this game until Thursday unfortunately. What I really wonder is if dinos can damage stone buildings, because if that's true they are pretty much pointless. It should be like:

1) Thatch: Breakable by anything.
2) Wood: Breakable by metal tools, dinos and explosives.
3) Stone: Breakable by dinos and explosives.
4) Metal: Breakiable by explosives only.

Off the top of my head I would say 15k,

No. They all have 10k, they just are more resistant to damage

Off the top of my head I would say 15k, but that 15k health can take way more hits from rockets or damage from c4 than wood even though it only has 50% more health. It is all related to the damage reduction stat for walls which is not exposed in game. I could fire up the dev kit and check for exact values, but I am not sure the dev kit has been updated since it was released with recent changes or not.

interesting so the stone wall by rights should have 12500 health, thatch has 6k wood 10k metal 15k so stone should be in the middle somewhere
