So I assumed that RWT and JSG were considered metal, asked on my server's chat, it was confirmed, so I built a whole RWT/Glass base like an idiot.

And then I noticed that I could damage my RWT with a pike and that it took twice as much damage from explosives as metal! Such disapointment!

I thought these new structures would enable everyone to customize their base a bit, but I was wrong, back to ugly black painted metal walls (you have to paint them black to reduce sun reflections).

It appears that RWT would be a "tier" between stone and metal but it seems completely pointless, RWT walls are nearly as expensive as metal walls, granted they cost less metal and cementing but the wood cost makes it so it doesn't take much longer to farm a metal wall so you might as well do it.

Why not make RWT and Glass = metal? Even if it means increasing their costs it would be so much better, then everyone could actually use these structures and not just PVE players.
