Metal WallhouseReport

English:Metal Wallhouse · Items & Equipment

A three-floor scrap house built tall and flat against steep slopes. The player cannot build one — it can only be bought in certain towns — and its top floor fits a level II research bench.

A makeshift house, built tall and flat to fit against steep slopes.

The Metal Wallhouse is a three-floored building connected by stairs and apparently assembled out of scrap.

What separates it from the other building shells is simple: the player cannot construct one. It sits on no research branch. It can only be bought where a town happens to have one for sale.

Why it is worth buying

The very top level is open to the sky and big enough to fit a Research Bench level II or higher; the roof has room for a Small Wind Generator. For a squad that cannot yet survive founding an outpost in the wild, buying a Metal Wallhouse means getting a complete research setup behind somebody else's walls — no walls to raise, no guards to hire.

Do not expect much of its durability: building condition 10, door condition 20. That door is a little better than the 16 most shells get, but it will not stop a serious raid; the protection you are buying is the town's, not the door's.
