High External Stone Wall

High External Stone Wall
The High External Stone Wall is a deployable defensive structure commonly used to create compounds and secure large areas around a base. Unlike standard walls, it cannot be upgraded, rotated, or removed with a Hammer, and must be placed on solid, level terrain rather than on foundations.
High external stone walls are fire-resistant and provide stronger protection than their wooden counterpart, requiring explosives to break through. They also feature barbed wire on top, which slows and damages players attempting to climb over with ladders, making unauthorized entry more difficult.
These walls are intended as a secondary layer of defense, not as a main home wall. They decay over time and require Tool Cupboard coverage, often leading players to place small external cupboards along the perimeter to maintain them. When used correctly, they are an effective way to control access and protect external areas of a base.
