Squad Building Limits & Notes
Default modular element limit: 100 elements for a solo player — scales with squad size.
Garden plot cost: 4 planks + 8 nails.
Log-to-plank conversion: 1 log = 4 planks (requires axe or saw).
Watchtower: each additional floor requires separate wall segments on all sides.
| Tier | Materials | Durability |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Tier 1 | Logs, planks, nails | Low |
| Wood Tier 2 | Planks, nails, screws | Medium |
| Metal | Scrap metal, bolts | High |
| Reinforced | Scrap metal, bolts, cement | Very High |
