Steel Walls Burning?

[Anan]

We surrounded our spaceship with a steel wall to keep the barbarian raiders from beating on it. Why they want to kill a star-ship is a bit of a mystery, but even more strange is that a small group of savages armed only with short-bows from the Stone Age are able to ignite our steel walls. Some reworking of this detail would help immersion, I think.

Probably done for balance reasons... But yeah it doesn't make any sense since steel doesn't melt from fires...

You might want to stick with Stone Walls like Granite, Slate or Limestone and etc...

We thought of using stone to be fireproof, but there's a huge time penalty in construction even if we had all the materials ready. The few fires we've had have been trivial to manage, and rapid access to the ship for us is also a priority... we don't know how much time we may have between ship readiness and the next incursion to make some entries and get everybody loaded and chilled. Sure hope this thing is VTOL! :-)

Well yea, Stone takes more time to build, but it's still worth investing in them if you're next to a mountain or have a lot of stone chunks left in the open fields...

Though there's mods that changes Metal to become Un-burnable for you know, not being flammable like it's made of wood and not metal...
