Comparison table[edit]

Below is a list of material effects for stone blocks. When a stuffable item is created from a stone block, each of its base stats is multiplied by a factor for that stat belonging to the material used. Take "Hit Points" for example. For this stat, granite blocks have a factor of 1.7 and walls have a base stat of 300. Thus, the final "Hit Points" of a granite wall is: 1.7 × 300 = 510

This process is then repeated for each stat. The material's sharp damage factor is applied to the items base sharp damage, flammability factor to flammability etc.

Market value is the notable exception to this direct multiplicative relationship, but the value of a material does have a direct effect on that of the final product. See Market Value for details.

Material	Beauty Factor	Beauty Offset	Work To Make Factor	Work To Build Factor	Max Hit Points Factor	Melee Sharp Damage Factor
Granite blocks	1	0	1.3	6	1.7	0.65
Limestone blocks	1	0	1.3	6	1.55	0.6
Marble blocks	1.35	1	1.15	5.5	1.2	0.6
Sandstone blocks	1.1	0	1.1	5	1.4	0.5
Slate blocks	1.1	0	1.3	6	1.3	0.6

All stones blocks have the following modifiers in common:

Work To Build Offset of 140 ticks (2.33 secs).
Flammability Factor of 0.
Melee Blunt Damage Factor of 1.
Melee Cooldown Factor of 1.3.
Door Opening Speed Factor of 0.45.
Rest Effectiveness Factor of 0.9.
Market Value of 0.9.

Walls and Floors[edit]

As the table above shows, Marble is the only stone block with a Beauty Offset. This affects the beauty and impressiveness of rooms made from stone blocks, but the game only takes this into account for walls and not floors. Rooms made with marble walls are more beautiful and impressive than other stone walls, but the type of stone used for the floor makes no difference. Any type of stone floor will be equally more beautiful and impressive than dirt.

Traps[edit]

Spike traps made from stone blocks have different damage and hit points, based upon the type of stone used per the table above, but also different armor penetration. Granite is the most effective stone, sandstone least, and all other stone types are intermediate. Traps made from any stone will be much slower to build than traps made from non-stony materials. See Spike trap page for details.

Descriptions[edit]

Granite blocks

Blocks of solid granite. Granite is a very hard stone.

Granite is the strongest of all stone blocks and is best suited to build walls in the fighting area.

Limestone blocks

Blocks of solid limestone.

Besides being the second most durable stone type after granite, limestone blocks have no practical advantage over other stone blocks.

Marble blocks

Blocks of solid marble. Marble is a soft, beautiful stone, known for being easy to sculpt.

Of all stone block materials, marble has the highest Beauty factor and stands alone as the sole stone to have a beauty bonus, and so is the best stone block to create art for your base. It is also a close second in terms of market value per unit of work, after sandstone, so is well suited to craft items for sale in bulk.

Sandstone blocks

Blocks of solid sandstone. Sandstone is a relatively soft rock and chips easily.

Sandstone is the quickest stone type to work with, making it well suited for stone constructions that need to be built quickly. It also has the highest market value per unit of work so is the best stone type for crafting items for sale in bulk.

Slate blocks

Blocks of solid slate. A dull-looking rock that chips easily.

The only advantage of slate blocks is that they are the least heavy. If for some reason you need to carry stone blocks or chunks in a caravan in bulk, slate might be the best choice.

+__NOTOC__
-Stone is produced from rock rubble via a [[Stonecutter's table]] after it is researched. To create stone right click the table, click 'Bills', and use the '''+''' and '''-''' buttons to set how many pieces of rubble you wish to consume. You must have a colonist with 'crafting' enabled in the Overview menu. Stone blocks are always produced in batches of 20 per rock chunk. Stone can also be obtained by deconstructing abandoned structures that are randomly scattered throughout the map, though these must be [[Claim]]ed first.

+'''Stone blocks''' are produced by cutting [[stone chunk]]s on a [[Stonecutter's table]] after researching Stonecutting. Colonist with 'crafting' enabled will perform this task, but performing it does not grant any skill progress. Stone blocks are always produced in batches of 20 per stone chunk. Blocks can also be salvaged by deconstructing abandoned structures.
-Cut stone can be used to supplement other valuable resources, namely steel and wood. It can be used to craft walls (even the conduit walls that carry electricity), or fancy floors with faster than default walk speed and less mood penalty. Cut stone can be used to craft everything from doors, automatic doors, tables, benches, to beds and royal beds. It is also the prime resource for crafting sculptures for colonists with the Artist skill.
+Stone blocks can be used to build walls and doors, and lay fancy floors with faster walk speed and less ugliness penalty, as well as to build furniture and many production benches. It's also one of the prime materials for crafting [[sculpture]]s.
-While doors made of stone are very hard for enemies to destroy, they also take a ''long'' time to open, so consider making the Autodoor variant to save time. It also doesn't give nearly as much rest effectiveness as wooden beds do.
+== Comparison table ==
+Below is a list of material effects for stone blocks. When a [[stuff]]able item is created from a stone block, each of its base stats is multiplied by a factor for that stat belonging to the material used. Take "Hit Points" for example. For this stat, [[granite blocks]] have a ''factor'' of {{Q|granite blocks|Max Hit Points Factor}} and [[wall]]s have a base stat of {{Q|Wall|Max Hit Points Base}}. Thus, the final "Hit Points" of a granite wall is: <code>{{Q|granite blocks|Max Hit Points Factor}} × {{Q|Wall|Max Hit Points Base}} = {{#expr: {{Q|granite blocks|Max Hit Points Factor}}*{{Q|Wall|Max Hit Points Base}}}}</code>
-Stone walls and structures appear to take 3 times as much damage from explosive weapons (like [[Mortar]]s) as structures made of other materials.
+This process is then repeated for each stat. The material's sharp damage factor is applied to the items base sharp damage, flammability factor to flammability etc.
