The A15 version works in A16.

Adds a stronger wall for late-game. Intended to be balanced around the Pandora storyteller. As of 1.0, the wall has 5000 hp and is 99% resistant to fire.

The cost of each wall is 5 aggregate, 1 cement and 5 rebar. Aggregate is crafted from stone chunks at the stonecutter's table. Cement is crafted from limestone chunks or limestone blocks at the stonecutter's table. Rebar is crafted from steel at the fueled/electric smithy. Research stonecutting and smithing to unlock the wall designator.

The dependency on limestone is both for realism and for balance. If your map has no limestone, you can buy bricks. In A16, raiding other colonies and deconstructing their limestone walls/floors will be an option.

I'm open to suggestions about balance. 5000 hp is a lot and I don't think the current cost is high enough.

I haven't tested but it should. It's just a bunch of defs with some textures.

Would it be possible to build an embrasure with it? (lazy to test it xd)

lost_RD

Possible, sure, but I'm yet to see an embrasure that I like and I'm not going to code embrasure functionality from scratch, that sounds like too much work.

I didn't create concrete as a material, I created concrete wall as a whole new building, so it wouldn't work.

Thank you for clarifying that up.
Even though it can't be embrasures, a 5000 wall is extremely helpful. Thanks a lot!

You have to update the <WorkToMake> tag to <WorkToBuild> as well ;)

Hello,

Will this mod be updated for A17?

Bye
