Summary

Ancient concrete barriers are traffic management structures that were dotted alongside ancient asphalt roads and highways, a long time ago.

They cannot be constructed or reinstalled, but can be repaired by colonists if claimed, or deconstructed for a small amount of steel. They provide good cover, almost as much as sandbags and barricades, and comparable HP to a granite one, but are mostly found in an already-damaged state. They don't have any inherent building wealth.

Utility

These barriers can be dismantled, removing cover and recovering steel, with no other consequence.

Asphalt roads are still valuable, because they're easy to travel, but altering their local state of (dis)repair, including removing barriers, has no impact on their state globally.

Compared to other kinds of steel recyclables, mechanoid slag chunks are more common, and (steel) ruin walls are denser, but settling or camping on ancient roads comes with the easy supply of steel from these barriers, right by the roadside, as long as you don't mind vandalizing a small part of what once made them useful.

Though these barriers originally held traffic safely in the lines of travel, they've been scattered into disorder with the passage of time (or general unrest) far along the roads of the wider rimworld, likely to the state of full disuse, much like many other types of debris in ancient infrastructure and ruins.

Sites

• Ancient asphalt road
• Ancient asphalt highway

Related ruins/Variants

Ancient lampposts were installed alongside barriers, both are present on asphalt roads or highways.

Ancient cars and other traffic debris can be found alongside barriers on these roads as well, if ideology map-generation extensions are active.

Large concrete barriers are a variation found in different locations.
