Structures are essentially buildings, or items that can be placed. There are currently seven types of structures in the game, which are walls, spikes, doors, fires, agricultural structures, extractors, and miscellaneous structures.

Players can craft and place structures. After placement of any structure, players must wait 0.8 seconds before they can build another. Most structures can technically last forever (exceptions are campfire, big fire, wheat seeds, berry seeds, and pumpkin seeds - these naturally disappear after a while), but they are eventually removed by being damaged by players, or having the owner die/disconnect. The most damaging tools to structures are hammers, but they can also be damaged by pickaxes and amethyst-tier weapons. Some structures, such as fires and planted berry bushes, will disappear after a certain time. Upon destruction by a player, most types of structures will give that player a substantial portion of the resources used to craft them.

Walls[]

Walls are structures that provide protection to players by blocking mobs and players from passing through. They are arguably the most inexpensive form of protection. All types of walls take 5 seconds to craft.

Inv-reidite-wall-in

Spikes[]

Spikes are walls that inflict damage upon players when in contact (attacking it counts as being in contact, but less damage). Remember that players can't upgrade walls/spikes any further after they have "spiked" them up. Players first need to upgrade the wall to the desired tier before crafting the spiked variant. They have less health than walls.

Spikes are best at being intimidating and filling gaps, but can also be useful when engaging in combat.

They take 20 seconds to craft.

Extractors[]

Extractors are structures that extract resources presumably from the ground every 2 tics (10 seconds), consuming 2 wood in the process. They are also the only items that don't require the previous tier item in order to be crafted.
