{{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 [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]]. It takes {{ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work to cut a single chunk into {{P|Product Amount}} blocks.

==Analysis==
As the 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 the third strongest [[sandstone blocks|sandstone]], making it the preferred building material for anywhere that you expect to take damage or even as the default [[wall]] material where another material is not indicated. For example, a colony may chose to build [[table]]s and bedrooms walls from the [[beauty|beautiful]] [[marble blocks|marble]], while all other walls, including the outer walls, will be made from granite. 

If available, both [[uranium]] and [[plasteel]] significantly outperform granite, with 47% and 65% more HP respectively. However, both materials are both more expensive and rarer to encounter than the relatively common granite. Thus, they should only be used as needed and are typically relegated to constructions that will be a particular focus for damage, such as planned defensive positions or the walls at the receiving end of a killbox.
