A metal wall is a constructable wall tile used for shelter and defense.
Usage
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 require the player to have a propane torch, a welding mask, and welding rods to construct. The strength of the wall itself is dependent on the level of the wall built, and the player's metalworking skill level.. Metal walls can be constructed on both wooden and metal wall frames.
The player must have read the The Metalwork Magazine Vol. 1 to construct metal walls, or have the metalworker occupation.
Metal walls can be used as player-made tall fences, as long as there's no roof above them. Unlike wooden walls, metal walls can not be plastered or painted.
Crafting
To construct a metal wall, the player must be at least metalworking level 2, know the recipe, and have already constructed either a wooden wall frame or a metal wall frame. The player can then right click on the frame, and choose the level of wall they wish to construct, so long as they meet the construction requirements.
