Full Encyclopedia Entry ▼
Stone provides the structural strength for permanent construction. While wood suffices for basic structures, stone is required for fortifications, defensive buildings, and advanced facilities. Caverns produce 15 Stone per tick, with Mountain terrain providing +40% bonus. Dwarves gain +35% racial bonus for stone production. Stone combines with Mineral in the Furnace to produce Marble. Winter freezes the ground, imposing -15% penalty, while Meadows lack quarries (-25%).
