Metal Walls
Metal walls are a defensive structure that can be built to seal entranceways, reinforce entry/exit points, and can be used in the creation of completely new structures.
All metal walls and metal windows requires a player to have a propane torch, an welding mask, and welding rods to construct. The strength of the wall itself is dependant on the level of the actual wall. Metal walls can begin with wooden frames or metal frames.
A player must learn the relevant skill magazines to construct metal structures.
While a slight oversight, you must be holding the metal sheets in your inventory to upgrade a wooden/metal frame to a metal wall, and these construction parts can not be used if on the floor.
Construction
 Right-clicking on a bars on a metal frame shows the upgrade menu. |
To build a metal wall, a player must first equip the hammer, build a wooden or metal frame, and then upgrade this frame with metal sheets.
To construct a Metal Wall, a player would require for Level 1, 2 skill points in metalworking. For Level 2 it requires 8 levels in metalworking.
Wooden and metal frames provide additive health to the overall health of the wall: for instance, a metal frame upgraded to a metal wall would have 370 total health.
Walls can be destroyed quickly by a sledgehammer.
