Talk:Reinforced Stone/@comment-67.171.225.200-20121010005717

I don't know why the wiki says you need 3 blocks thick, one block thick does just fine from the explosions i've seen. If you are doing multiple explosions or maybe overloading the crap out of a reactor then you may need more, but for basic protection one worked fine when my reactor exploded.

It's been discussed before, but if you have a wire coming out of a container note the explosion will travel through that opening. Make a 90 degree angle and put more reinforced stone around the cable to contain the blast, unless the area it faces is unimportant (Especially if facing the sky)

Also worth noting that you do in fact need corner pieces, the explosion does travel diagonally. Without them you will have an X-shaped crater.
