Limestone Blocks are used in the construction of furniture and structures that are made of Limestone. Besides being the second most durable stone type after granite, limestone blocks have no practical advantage over other stone blocks.

Acquisition[edit]

Limestone blocks are cut from limestone chunks at a Stonecutter's table. It takes 1,600 ticks (26.67 secs) of work to cut a single chunk into 20 blocks.

Usage[edit]

Limestone blocks can be used to craft and build the following things:

  • Analysis[edit]

    Limestone blocks have 91% the hit points of granite and 11% more than the next (sandstone), so still very serviceable for use where durability is desired, such as fixed defensive positions or the receiving end of a killbox.

    Production strategy

    This section is transcluded from 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[edit]

    General labor speed is affected by manipulation, sight and global work speed.

    • Sight decreases general labor speed if below 100%, but offers no benefit above 100%.
    • Manipulation can be improved with bionic or archotech arms, 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 Leader's Work DriveContent added by the Ideology DLC, and the drug Wake-up, which stacks with the drug's manipulation improvement.
    • General Labor Speed can also be directly increased by +50% Production specialistsContent added by the Ideology DLC, 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.

    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.

    Process efficiency[edit]

    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 comfortable and happy while cutting, however it will slow pawns as they path over it.

    It's worth mentioning, with the Ideology DLC installed, slavesContent added by the Ideology DLC 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-cyclerContent added by the Royalty DLC further increases efficiency by removing the need for sleep at the cost of -15% consciousness.
