- Every block of a grade has the same HP: a stone wall, foundation, doorway or floor all have 500 HP.
- Cost is for a wall or square foundation. A stone wall or foundation costs 300 Stones, a doorway 210 Stones, a floor, roof, low wall or triangle foundation 150 Stones, and a triangle floor 75 Stones.
- Break is rockets and C4 to destroy one block from the outside; Cheapest is the explosive that takes the least sulfur. Decay is how long a block lasts with no Tool Cupboard upkeep.
- Upkeep scales with your total block count, so check the live cost on your Tool Cupboard.
- Siege weapons (battering ram, catapult, ballista) can also breach walls.
Hard side and soft side
uses to break one wall| Tool | Twig | Wood | Stone | Sheet Metal | Armored |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rocket | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 15 |
| HV Rocket | 1 | 9 | 32 | 67 | 134 |
| C4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| Satchel | 1 | 3 | 10 | 23 | 46 |
| Beancan Grenade | 1 | 18 | 64 | 131 | 262 |
| Propane Bomb | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 15 |
| Torpedo | 1 | 24 | 90 | 200 | 400 |
| Explosive Ammo | 2 / 1 | 48 / 42 | 183 / 167 | 401 / 400 | 801 / 800 |
The hard side faces out; the soft side is the inside face you build from. Two numbers read hard / soft. Explosions hit both faces the same, so one number means no difference. Only the bullet in explosive ammo hits the soft side harder, like melee and gunfire.
