A large stele is a purely decorative Miscellaneous structure. A stele provides less beauty than most sculptures and require more resources, but have no quality.

They are the smaller, less beautiful version of the grand stele.

Acquisition[edit]

Large steles can be constructed once the complex furniture research project has been completed. Each requires Stuff 125 Stuff (Stony) and 8,000 ticks (2.22 mins) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder and the work to build factor and offset of the material.

Once constructed, they cannot be re-installed, they can only be deconstructed.

Steles may also be found in ruins throughout the map.

Summary[edit]

Large steles add beauty to its surroundings. The beauty rating is added to the single, bottom-left-most tile a pawn can see. Despite their size, they do not count as a wall.

Large steles can also be used as an Artistic meditation focusContent added by the Royalty DLC, with a Meditation Focus Strength of +15% psyfocus/day. It appears that no other modifiers exist for steles as they do for other foci.[Fact Check Needed]

You may need to build steles for a Momument questContent added by the Royalty DLC, in which they act as a time and resource sink.

Analysis[edit]

Steles are less beautiful when compared to sculptures, even of the same material, with the only redeeming aspect being their higher HP and lack of quality.

For the same cost as a single large stele, you can construct 2.5 small sculptures. Small sculptures have 25 beauty at Poor quality, and even a pawn with Artistic Skill 0 will average 0.9 Poor quality or better sculptures with the same resource investment. At even modest Artistic levels, sculptures are more efficient in terms of time, stone blocks, and space.

Compared to grand steles, large steles take half the resource cost and half the work, for half the beauty and HP. Large steles are slightly more efficient for space, as a grand stele requires 9 tiles of space while 2 large steles of equal beauty require only 8.

While the examples that naturally spawn in ruins can be built around to benefit from their beauty, the beauty bonus is small enough for this to rarely be relevant. Instead, they are often better used by deconstructing them for their resources.

As a construction[edit]

Steles have some merit in training the construction skill. Have a pawn work on the stele, and right before it finishes, cancel the construction. You will get 75% of the resources back, and your pawn will have spent a lot of time constructing. In order to maximize building speed, slow your pawn as much as possible, such as by putting them in darkness.
