<includeonly>===Production strategy===
:''This section is transcluded from [[Template:Stonecutting maximization|Stonecutting maximization]].''

Stonecutting speed is controlled by the cutting pawn's [[General Labor Speed]] stat which is determined by a pawn's stats and capacities rather than any skill. Thus, maximization is based on improving that stat and removing process inefficiencies rather than grinding for experience. 

==== General Labor Speed ====
General labor speed is affected by [[manipulation]], [[sight]] and [[global work speed]]. 

*Sight decreases general labor speed if below 100%, but offers no benefit if raised
*Manipulation can be improved with [[Bionic arm|bionic]] or [[archotech arm]]s, or with drugs that improve Manipulation or [[Consciousness]] such as [[Go-juice]] or [[Wake-up]]. 
*Global work speed can be improved by certain traits, such as [[Industrious]] or [[Neurotic]], a [[Ideoligion#Leader|Leader]]'s Work Drive{{IdeologyIcon}}, and the drug Wake-up, which stacks with the drug's manipulation improvement. 
*General Labor Speed is also increased by +50% [[Ideoligion#Production specialist|Production specialists]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, and those affected by their Production Command. 
**The ability stacks with the role, but a specialist cannot self-buff.
Like other workbenches, using a stonecutter while outdoors, having no [[light]], or under extreme [[temperature]] will negatively affect production speed. Care should be taken to avoid these conditions. Pawns with damaged vision / manipulation, or with traits such as [[Lazy]] should avoid stonecutting unless they are otherwise unoccupied. 

Being a production specialist will lock out a pawn out of many other work types, while the quality increase is useless for stonecutting. A 'dedicated stonecutter' may want to become a production specialist to build up a stockpile of bricks, or promoted if they would otherwise benefit from the role. Note that there is a {{--|15}} '''<Role> lost''' if you decide to switch or remove the specialist role later.

==== Process efficiency ====
<!--Using [[shelf|shelves]] placed directly adjacent to the crafting position will remove travel time to pick up new chunks for cutting, as described on [[Shelf#Analysis|that page]], so long as:
# Sufficient haulers are present to bring chunks to them. 
# The bill is set to drop the blocks on the ground.
If there are insufficient haulers, removing the shelves and instead-->Positioning the cutting table next to the chunk stockpile is ideal. 

Placing an [[armchair]] or other chair will not improve production rates, but will ensure that the pawn remains [[comfort|comfortable]] and [[mood|happy]] while cutting, however it will slow pawns as they path over it. 

It's worth mentioning, with the [[Ideology DLC]] installed, [[slavery|slaves]]{{IdeologyIcon}} are ideal as stone cutters as the task doesn't raise any of the pawns skills. The -15% work speed from slaves is offset by a lack of need for recreation. Adding a [[circadian half-cycler]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} further increases efficiency by removing the need for sleep at the cost of -15% consciousness.</includeonly><noinclude>{{Rewrite|reason=1.4/Biotech chances.
