Reading the chart
C4 wins on walls
Cheapest sulfur-per-damage on stone and above. Save it for walls, not doors.
5.56 wins on sheet doors
63 rounds beats a full C4 by roughly 600 sulfur on a sheet metal door — louder and slower, but cheaper.
Rockets splash
Useful against honeycombed bases since one rocket can catch more than one wall layer.
Check soft sides first
Interior-facing surfaces cost roughly half — stone can sometimes be pickaxed for zero sulfur if unhoneycombed.
Items & Recipes
Raw material costs. Components (Rifle Body, Metal Spring, Metal Pipe, Gears, Tech Trash) are looted, not craftable.
