Steel Block Problem

After making steel blocks in the workbench, I used them to make my horde base.  10k Hit Points, no problems, right?  Well, that depends.

For aesthetic reasons and other blocks being used, I put up 2m Sheets instead of plates.  When I changed the SHAPE to the 2m Sheet, the description said Hip Points  10000.  So I assumed that I had 10k points at my back.  Imagine my surprise when my backside was flapping in the breeze after a couple of shots of cop puke during horde night...

Checked the other sheet options, same results.  Plates, on the other hand, actually had 10k points.

SO.  Either fix the description to reflect the hit points of the shape that has been selected OR, fix the hit points of the shapes to reflect the material they are being made from.

I have not tried this with other building materials to see if this is reflected with wood, concrete, etc.

This is in SP, and no errors are being thrown in logs, so I am not classing this as a "bug report."  Just a minor oversight with some details like description matching.

This is a bug, and thus it would be better if there were a bug report

Is it?  I didn't think stats on variable blocks changed based on the shape you chose.  Sheets are always low HP and even other shapes as well.  I'm pretty sure that's intentional.  After all, a steel sheet of "paper" isn't going to be as durable as a steel cube.  Less material would be expected to be less durable.

Sure, the HP reduction is (AFAIR) intentional, but this should be reflected by description, that is the bug.

The picture above only still shows the full block with 10k, but I am assuming this is with the shape changed to sheet already, right?

This is a bug just like it would be a bug if meat stew's description would show it provides 200 food or that it cures infection. Either a game keeps quit about stats or it has to show the correct stats.
