I'm really surprised there hasn't been more talk of different levels of walls by now (unless I missed it). It seems to be one of the few items in the game that has no advancement options. I think at least a steel wall of some sort would make sense given the prevalence of steel usage in the game.

There's a mod called "Additional Turret" (I think) that adds a couple of new wall types, though they get unlocked with certain other technologies, rather than having dedicated research of their own. I never used any of them, and I don't remember what their properties were besides having an explosion-resistant one, which is really only needed if you have rocket or cannon turrets firing explosive ammo.

I agree, please add advanced walls. Just a simple retexture of the current wall would be fine I think. Make ot a bit more mid game research. Use steel and concrete and make it very strong. Perhaps make the texture a bit lighter due to the concrete.

This has already been suggested in the following thread:

Personally I woldn't want advanced walls, but all kinds of defense bonuses to be put as an infinite resaearch. Right now it seems to be all about offense.
