Test case: walls made of doors

    I was just curious to see if a building made entirely out of doors could still function:

    doors1.jpg , doors2.jpg , doors3.jpg , doors4.jpg , doors5.jpg

    Turns out, it's perfectly fine.

    Given that:

    a) Colonists can pass through doors freely, and monsters cannot,
    b) walls are permeable for line-of-sight and firearms considerations,

    there is little disincentive to simply make all your walls out of doors, aside from

    c) a little extra time during construction, and
    d) aesthetic considerations.

    Maybe a balance consideration, for later?

    Making doors cost a plank to build should fix the problem. Makes more demand for planks too, which is good.

    I like that :) but having a workshop that resembles a public convenience won't be everyones cup of Earl Grey
    Will doors work between adjoining buildings not tried it yet??

    Another way of balancing it - monsters could break through doors and possibly windows faster than through walls. (When they finally discover how)
