What it takes to destroy the High External Stone Gate with one explosive alone, cheapest first.
| Explosive | Needed | Sulfur |
|---|---|---|
Timed Explosive Charge | 2 | 4,400 |
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo | 182 | 4,550 |
Satchel Charge | 10 | 4,800 |
Rocket | 4 | 5,600 |

Beancan Grenade | 64 | 7,680 |

Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo, 4,430 sulfurWhat it takes to destroy the High External Stone Gate with one siege weapon alone, each paid in what its own recipe asks: metal and fuel for the ram, sulfur and the rest for a propane bomb.
| Siege weapon | Needed | Costs |
|---|---|---|
Battering Ram | 10 hits, one hammer swing on the head | 16 High Quality Metal, at least 5 Low Grade Fuel |
Propane Explosive Bomb by catapult | 4 | 5,400 Charcoal, 3,600 Sulfur, 400 Metal Fragments, 60 Animal Fat, 40 Scrap, 20 Cloth |
|
Propane Explosive Bomb placed by hand | 7 | 9,450 Charcoal, 6,300 Sulfur, 700 Metal Fragments, 105 Animal Fat, 70 Scrap, 35 Cloth |
Hammerhead Bolt by ballista | 40 | 3,000 Metal Fragments, 200 High Quality Metal |
A battering ram head is worn out after 9 hits, and one hammer swing on it costs 16 High Quality Metal and gives it 3 more. The ram strikes once every 4.5 seconds with its engine running, which burns at least 0.1 Low Grade Fuel a second.
Every count starts from full health, with the Timed Explosive Charge and the Satchel Charge stuck on the High External Stone Gate and Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo fired from an Assault Rifle.
A Satchel Charge fails to go off 20% of the time and a Beancan Grenade 15%, so carry spares.
