Lali-Lop Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 If I can't create a bunch of bunker tiles, will insulated tiles protect me against meteors longer than regular tiles (because they have higher mass), or is it a waste of materials to do so? And does the hardness of the material impact its strength as well? I know it does when they're raw tiles, but I wasn't sure if that property somehow carried over to buildings.

Gurgel Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I do not really have any hard evidence, but I used Mafic Rock (very soft) in one game for that and Granite in another. Did not seem to be much of a difference. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/95086-tile-strength/#findComment-1080107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIXBUGFIXBUGFIX Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The following topic is a bit old. But if the mechanism didn't change much, the resistance is almost only influenced by the element's strength (not hardness!).

Djoums Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 No hard evidence either but from experience insulated abyssalite works very well. I didn't know about the material strength, that probably means regular abyssalite will work just as well.

avc15 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 one of brothgar's recent videos includes tests of various different types of tile made from various different types of material. I think it's this one? edit: no, this one If you want a visual demonstration.
