Barbedwire breaks too easy

[pamduncan]

I know this is a vanilla issue but its one of those issues that the greater majority would like to see fixed. Barbedwire fence was supposed to be something that did little damage to z's but would slow them down so that other things could - such as keeping them on spikes or in range of turrets or where people defending could get better shots etc. Recent changes to some material (?) has made it so that it breaks like its made of glass. Could we adjust it so that barbed wire fence went back to doing its work?

Barbwire is overpowered as a defense in that it costs little to make and is effective in holding zeds stationary. Barbed fence has half the lifetime of the wire alone, because its mostly wood, not all metal. We could add some health to each but it should come at a cost..specifically, it should slow down the zeds less, especially the wire alone. Walking on little barbs would not slow a dead entity much anyway.
