Rust Armored Wall (Armored Building Tier)
A Armored wall has 2000 HP and decays in 12 hours without upkeep from a tool cupboard. Breaking one takes 8 C4 or 15 rockets; the cheapest way is 8× Timed Explosive Charge (17,600 sulfur), the same from either side.
Decay & Upkeep
Without a tool cupboard supplying upkeep, a Armored structure begins to decay and is destroyed after roughly 12 hours. Keep resources in a nearby tool cupboard to pay upkeep and stop decay entirely.
Build Cost & Upkeep
Upgrading a wall or foundation to Armored costs 25 High Quality Metal. Daily upkeep is a share of that cost set by the size of the base: 10% for the first 15 blocks, 15% for the next 50, 20% for the next 125 and 33.3% for every block after that. The upkeep calculator works it out for a whole base.
Other shapes cost a fraction of that, rounded up. Every block is placed as twig first, which costs wood whatever it is upgraded to.

One wall, cheapest first, and the same from either side: explosives ignore a wall's soft side in the game (it only matters for melee and bullets). Same data as the raid calculator.
