Hello guys
I'm very new to this game (I don't even have bought the full game yet).
I tried this (http://i.imgur.com/EyWBS2p.png?2) in the lvl3 of the beginner campaign.
The ennemies don't even try to kill the furnaces and sometimes get stucked behind them.
Is it intended ? Can this work in the full game ?
Anyway : great game, gonna buy it.
furnace wall
Re: furnace wall
In the full game you can build a real wall that has 300 hitpoints and is impossible to run through. 
Re: furnace wall
They're not running through, they're trying to pass without attacking it. So HP is irrelevant here.

Re: furnace wall
You are playing tower defense on factorio? hehe
I think biters will spot a turret or the player, and then only attack other structures if they get in the way of the pathfinding.
I havent tested it, but i think it would be possible to just build an open but convoluted path for the biters to go through, and properly cover it with laser fire for a defense that never gets damaged.
Having said that, i have seen biters munching on lone trees sometimes, my guess is the algo tried to pathfind through it and for some reason didnt try to go around, so it might not be 100% biter-proof.

Haha this almost looks like my early game walls of using wooden boxes..
