Soak = how much damage a building absorbs before loosing HP.
Thus, total STR needed to damage is (soak + 1 - tool damage) ^ 2
You can look up soak of buildings on the RoB wiki. In the case of a palisade or brick wall (or other walls if they might get added), if it's set already, you much use a siege engine.
Another tip on the wrecking ball: it can be pretty easy to face it the wrong way the first couple of times you assemble it. Try to use it and if it gives you the option to destroy, it's set right, otherwise it's facing the wrong way. You still get an error message if you do select "destroy," something like "this needs time to dry" or such.
Thank you Magic!
