Building a bridge out of blocks instead of rocks also '''cuts the building time by two thirds''', independent of clearing and hauling time. This difference in building time presumably extends to other buildings and constructions where you can choose between blocks and rocks. The appearance of [[bridge]]s and paved [[road]]s will be different depending on whether blocks or rocks are used. The use of blocks is indicated by the floor tile {{Tile|+|#FFF|#000}}, and the use of rocks is indicated by a rough ground tile {{Tile|≈|#FFF|#000}}. | Building a bridge out of blocks instead of rocks also '''cuts the building time by two thirds''', independent of clearing and hauling time.

Blocks are more valuable than rocks, having a [[Value#Items with material but without quality|base value]] of 5, compared to the raw material value of 3 for stone, wood or glass, while metal bars already have a base value of 5. This, combined with the yield of 4 blocks per stone, nets a value increase of 17 when using basic stones for blocks. | Blocks are more valuable than rocks, having a [[Value#Items with material but without quality|base value]] of 5, compared to the raw material value of 3 for stone, wood or glass, while metal bars already have a base value of 5.
