A basic take-away from the table below is that the two most common early choices, [[cloth]] sandbags and [[wood]]en barricades, are indeed almost identical, the primary difference being that wooden barricades have 195 hit points while the cloth sandbags have 300. Both can be constructed on terrain that supports only "light" structures.

Barricade

Barricade

A waist-high barrier for use as cover from incoming shots. Barricades are ugly, but provide better cover than other low objects. Barricades will block certain kinds of animals the same way that fences do.

Barricades can be placed to cover your colonists from gunfire, but not melee attacks, thrown projectiles, or explosions. Barricades take damage from bullets and explosions. Raiders can also use Barricades as cover, so place them in a way so enemy units cannot take advantage of them.

Barricades provide 55% cover effectiveness, meaning that bullets aimed at targets behind Barricades have a 55% chance to hit the barricades, leaving only a 45% chance to hit anything behind them. Barricades slow down pawns walking over them, and do not allow a pawn to "stop" to fire or take cover if they are standing on one.

They are the non-textile version of sandbags, providing identical cover, and so useful during the early game when textiles are not conveniently available.

They look better than sandbags, although they are still unsightly, so should be avoided anywhere that beauty is desired.

Barricades require Stuff 5 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 50 for SMVs) and 320 ticks (5.33 secs) to build.

Material Table

As Barricades and Sandbags are largely interchangeable except for their aesthetics and material properties, both are included in the following table for convenience.

A basic take-away from the table below is that the two most common early choices, cloth sandbags and wooden barricades, are indeed almost identical, the only significant difference being that wooden barricades have 195 hit points while the cloth sandbags have 300. Both can be constructed on terrain that supports only "light" structures.

Note that cover effectiveness is 55% regardless of material or structure choice.
