Wooden Ladder
Wall, window and barricade,Rare,Deployable,Blueprint
The Wooden Ladder has 100 placed health, and hammer repairs from broken cost 150 Wood and 23 Cloth.
What it takes to destroy the Wooden Ladder 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.
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 Wooden Ladder 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.
What the Wooden Ladder is looted from
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Wooden Ladder, most likely first
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.
Each swing charges the share of the cost for 50 health, rounded up to whole resources, and restores as much health as it paid for, which can be more than 50. Nothing can be repaired for 30 seconds after it takes damage.
