What tier are insulated buildings?

[Jim1]

I want to stay warm, but not get purged. I lust need a small outpost in the frozen north, but replacing it would be a pain.

Anyone have experience with this or know a way to test it?

Thanks, in advance.

Thanks !

I had forgotten the usefulness of a repair hammer to see the relative strengths, but will try that also. Building a building in my main base for my pet to truck.

Obviously, no access to black ice yet

Thanks, Shadoza.

I figured every little bit helps, but was more concerned with purges. If I have to build some armor to run around the house, no biggie. I stay nekkid south of the snow line, inside or out. Food is cheaper than armor repairs and some of my armor requires a specific crafter to repair.

Next time I get a chance I’ll use a repair hammer and look at it. None has been used except where I pissed of a rhino boss and my toon is nowhere near there now.

Here is what the Wiki has …

Building tiers

Actually, if I had a lick of sense, I would have looked under Feats and seen Insulated was unlocked by Journeyman, which is T2
