Dark wall

Description
I always felt like Thulecite walls were underwhelming. It's just a more durable version of the Stone Wall - except it uses one of the rarest resources in the game to craft, instead of the abundant stone. I've literally never seen anyone craft one, and I genuinely believe its only current purpose in the game is to be hammered down when found in the ruins.

I think it would be really interesting if one of the most expensive walls in the game actually offered more than just extra durability. So, I propose:

The Dark Wall

- An ancient device made of Thulecite which, when placed on the ground, projects a stream of concentrated shadow above itself, preventing anything and anyone from passing - just like a normal wall would.
- Hitting the wall won't damage the device directly, but will instead drain the shadow’s energy. Once fully depleted, the wall will deactivate and behave like a broken wall.
- If not completely destroyed, the wall will very slowly regenerate its health at the cost of nearby players' sanity.
- Players can use Nightmare Fuel at any time to repair (recharge) the wall, even if it has been fully deactivated
- The wall is considered shadow-aligned and will take bonus damage from lunar items and enemies. (not implemented yet)
- To balance things out, the wall will be even more expensive to craft, requiring both Thulecite and Nightmare Fuel while giving less walls per craft.

Also, I can't draw, so for now it uses the archive walls texture.

Thulecite walls are only good when you don't have to craft it and they are provided for like PVE type gamemodes

This is pretty helpful. I'll look into it when I have the time.

well, i jsut try it, im liking it :)
i wish i could configure it to drain your sanity faster, like -1 sanity per second (or -60/minute) so repairing this things is faster
about the artstyle... i dont know if this may help you but: in Don't starve Hamlet, theres walls that are not player craftable but are pretty (from the pig ruins), so why not use those wallsprites instead?, here in this mod you can see the walls im talking about, the blue & mud-colored ones:

more specifically this ones are what im talking about, the orange blue ones:

I'm aware of a bug that allows dark walls to be researched like any other recipy instead of always requiring the pseudo-science machine. I'll probably fix it later, or add it as a config option.
