High External Adobe Wall

Pick this wall for how it looks, because the data gives you no other reason. Its row is a copy of the High External Stone Wall: a Level 2 bench, 4,000 stones and one sheet metal for three walls, the same recycler returns. It is a skin of the stone wall, crafted as that wall with the adobe look. The game even describes it as a high stone wall.

Against the wooden high wall the gap is real. Wood comes at Level 1 and half the scrap, but it is the wood tier, and a wooden ring is the one most groups replace once raiding starts. Adobe and stone sit side by side on the rung above it.

Where it earns its place: you built in the sand, the base already has the adobe look, and you want the ring around it to match. The clay colour will not hide your compound from someone on the next dune, though. A high wall in the open is still a high wall.

If the matching Adobe gate goes in too, craft both from the same stone pile and plan the ring before you place anything. You get three walls a craft, and a gap at a corner costs more than any skin.
