# Structure Security level VS Deconstruction Effort

This is a guideline for how the level of a structure such as a window or wall should relate to how difficult it is to deconstruct.

Every object should loosely be defined by one of 4 security levels (0-3) depending on how reinforced it is.

This isn't any code implemented mechanic, it's just an outline to follow
## Deconstruction Effort
Depending on the security, a structure should loosely follow these guidelines on how many tool uses are needed to mitigate or deconstruct it. Insulated gloves to protect against shock count as a tool, but security level 0 structures shouldn't electrify anyone.

Deconstruction time is a measurement of how long the structure would take to construct if done optimally. In practice, the total deconstuction time will be longer depending on the number of steps.

An individual step of deconstruction should generally not be more than 10 seconds.

*(Mitigated - a structure which is reduced into a state in which it is no longer an obstacle but isn't fully deconstructed Examples: A wall is reduced to a loose girder, a table is reduced to a frame.)*

| | level 0 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| --- | ------- | ------- | ------- | ------- |
|Deconstruct time |< 5 Seconds|~ 15 Seconds|~ 30 Seconds|~ 60 seconds|
|Tool uses required to mitigate|0-1| 1-3| 4-5|6-12|
|Tool uses required to deconstruct|1-2|2-4|5-6|7-13|
|Examples|Grille, Rack|Window, Wall, Airlock, Electrified Grille|Reinforced Window, Iron Upgraded Airlock, Secure Windoor|Plasma/Titanium Glass Window, Plasteel Upgraded airlock, Reinforced Wall|

## Construction Effort
For construction, higher security level structures should take more effort or stronger materials to construct than their lower level equivalents.
Level 3 structures should always require rarer materials like plasteel, plasma glass, or titanium.
