I ve raided a couple of bases and made choices on what to blow up based on what i see behind the metal wall cracks.
Why is sheet metal worse than stone in rust.
Why does steel rust.
To understand why steel rusts you have to know a little bit about chemistry and the periodic table.
This combination corrodes or eats away at the metal weakening it and causing it to fall apart.
Another thing with sheet metal is that sleeping bags stick out through floors so you can see them from below also you can sort of look through gaps in metal walls.
Sheet metal an uncommon component that can be recycled into metal fragments and high quality metal or used in the crafting of heavy plate armor pieces.
Sheet metal is a crafting component that currently is used to create the heavy plate armour shown in in devblog 149.
If so makes no sense to have an armored door on a sheet of metal house.
It can be found in crates and barrels.
I had a stone house duribility is 500.
They can also be obtained by gathering small loose rocks typically found on the ground.
Any material made with iron that is exposed to both oxygen and water will rust.
Stones can be obtained by mining rock nodes or setting up a mining quarry over a stone yielding area.
Saltwater corrodes metal five times faster than fresh water does and the salty humid ocean air causes metal to corrode 10 times faster.
So far i have only seen houses built either of wood or stone sheet of metal does not seem to be a popular choice.
Upgraded my home to metal durability 300.
Which one should i prefer.
Look at the many other threads about this that have actually tested the comparison.
I d say go most of the time for metal if it s a door way and stone for walls.
Because steel is made almost entirely of iron it is the most highly manufactured man made material that is subject to rust.
They actually fixed that so that sheet metal is stronger than stone it needs an additional c4 charge now.
The game itself treats sheet of metal as an upgrade from stone.
Is it still only 1 c4 needed to break a sheet of metal wall.
Everyone that is saying that sheet metal is better than stone is wrong.
Sheet metal also can be recycled if you choose to recycle it you will be granted with 3 hqm and 100 metal frags.
Stones are a type of raw resource used as a crafting material in construction or for the fabrication of certain items.
Hope i helped you with that.
Stone breaks slightly less quickly than scrap metal meaning that even when melee comes in to play scrap metal is still the lesser.
