Walls can also support [[roof]]ing, up to 6 tiles away in all directions. If walls, [[column]]s, and all other supporting objects are removed, then the roof will collapse and injure pawns and objects below. While most natural walls count as walls for the purposes of rooms, [[collapsed rocks]] do not. | Walls can also support [[roof]]ing, up to 6 tiles away in all directions.

Corners will provide weaker temperature and beauty insulation than vertical or horizontal aligned walls, but still create rooms. Pawns cannot travel or shoot through diagonal gaps. However, [[fire]] ''can'' go through diagonals. If there is an open [[door]] on the other side of the diagonal, then pawns can [[melee]] attack through. |
Walls also provide excellent [[cover]] from projectile attacks, blocking 75% of shots. Pawns behind a wall with an adjacent free space will "lean" around the wall to shoot at enemies on the other side. | Walls also provide excellent [[cover]] from projectile attacks, blocking 75% of shots.

Walls, or natural rock, are practically essential to create rooms and defensive structures. It's certainly possible to create a room of [[door]]s or [[cooler]]s, but that is just more expensive. As impassible structures, they are important when controling enemy flow and creating [[killbox]]es. Sapper and breach [[raid]]s will explicitly try and break them, but other raiders will path around so long as ''any'' target can be reached. | Walls, or natural rock, are practically essential to create rooms and defensive structures.

− | + | [[Steel]] isn't as durable as stone. Also, steel walls are flammable, unlike [[concrete]] and the actual steel item. However, steel is much faster to construct than stone. It may also be a necessity in a material-scare biome like the [[Biomes#Ice sheet|ice sheet]]. If you need a quick-yet-durable installation, or if nothing else is available, steel walls are useful. Otherwise, as the walls are relatively fragile, and as steel is useful for many other purposes, steel walls are usually a poor choice. | |
− | [[Plasteel]] and [[Uranium]] | + | [[Plasteel]] and [[Uranium]] are even stronger than stone (and are non-flammable), but these materials are significantly rarer and more expensive than other alternatives. As such they should be reserved for locations that need to take a lot of damage without failure, such as the entrance, back wall, and defenses of a [[killbox]]. |

Further advantages of walls are, however, that they don't reduce the room size and do not rely on having an [[artistic|artist]]. | Further advantages of walls are, however, that they don't reduce the room size and do not rely on having an [[artistic|artist]]. | ||
