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 rock chunk. Blocks can also be salvaged by deconstructing abandoned structures.
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 sculptures.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Granite blocks | Blocks of solid granite. Granite is a very hard stone. | 1.7 | 0 | 1 | 6 | 1.3 | 0.9 |
| Limestone blocks | Blocks of solid limestone. | 1.55 | 0 | 1 | 6 | 1.3 | 0.9 |
| Marble blocks | Blocks of solid marble. Marble is a soft, beautiful stone, known for being easy to sculpt. | 1.2 | 1 | 1.35 | 5.5 | 1.15 | 0.9 |
| Sandstone blocks | Blocks of solid sandstone. Sandstone is a relatively soft rock and chips easily. | 1.4 | 0 | 1.1 | 5 | 1.1 | 0.9 |

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