	Walls only block melee attacks, projectile attacks go over them.

	Despite their applications as a defensive measure, walls are not considered a [[Military units and structures\|military unit and structure]]; this is important for understanding the behavior of enemies regarding walls. If they are attempting to attack something and the wall obstructs their path, they will attack the wall to destroy it and clear the way. However, if they have already been aggro'd by a turret or the player, enemies will more actively pursue their aggressor and not necessarily attack walls between them. This allows the player to stall enemies more efficiently by building walls in a manner that disrupts their pathing without entirely obstructing it.

	'''Walls''' are a defensive structure that prevents both the player and [[enemies]] from passing. They ~~are primarily~~ used to shield [[turret]]s so they will be able to fight enemies longer without being destroyed, and can be used to protect parts of the factory from enemies. Although walls have less health than most defensive structures, their high damage resistance means it will take longer for enemies to destroy them.

	[[Gate]]s can be constructed to allow the player to pass through walls. Gates share the same health and resistances as walls and automatically close for enemies if not connected to the [[circuit network]], so no defensive power is lost.
