{{Info|Granite is the strongest of all [[stone blocks]] and is best suited to build walls in the fighting area.}}

==Acquisition==
Granite blocks are cut from [[rock chunk|granite chunks]] at a [[stonecutter's table]]. It takes {{ticks|1600}} of work to cut a chunk into 20 granite blocks.

==Analysis==
As the #1 most durable building stone, granite blocks have almost 10% more hit points than their nearest competitor ([[limestone blocks|limestone]]), and more than 21% more than #3 ([[sandstone blocks|sandstone]]), making it the preferred building material for anywhere that you expect to take damage, like planned defensive positions or the walls at the receiving end of a killbox.

Of course, if you can afford it, [[plasteel]] is 65% better than granite, leaving all stone construction in the dust, though it might be more practical to simply replace the granite as necessary. (Interestingly, steel is not a preferred material for this purpose. See [[Wall#Material Table|Wall/Material Table]].)
