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.

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.

Manipulation can be improved with [[Bionic arm|bionic]] or [[archotech arm]]s, or with drugs that improve Manipulation or [[Consciousness]] (as it directly affects Manipulation) such as [[Go-juice]] or [[Wake-up]].

While being a production specialist will lock out a pawn out of many other work types and the quality increase is useless for stonecutting, a stonecutter may want to become a specialist regardless. You can have as many specialists of a type as you wish, and the role can always be removed if the pawn is required for another role or once a sufficient stockpile of blocks has been made. Note that there is a {{--|15}} '''<Role> lost''' if you decide to switch or remove the specialist role later. If a temporary role switch is still untenable, consider placing the stonecutter table in range of your regular production specialist's workstations to benefit from their aura.

Global work speed is only 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]], as well as those under the Production specialist's Production Command.{{IdeologyIcon}} While being a specialist locks out many other work types and the quality increase is of no use for stonecutting, it can be useful to give to a dedicated stonecutter, to crafter pawns that will benefit and are temporarily seconded to stonecutting, or only temporarily to build up a stockpile of bricks before abandoning the role. A separate pawn as production specialist using the command and staying nearby will also improve rates and can be used independently or stack with the improvement from the cutter being a specialist.

Additionally, like many other production tasks, lack of light or excessive [[temperature]]s will negatively affect rates, and up to two [[tool cabinet]]s will improve rates.

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.
