A Block is a material shaped into a block. Stone and wood can be shaped into blocks at the Mason's workshop or Carpenter's workshop. Glass blocks can be made at the Glass Furnace.

Blocks are required to make roads, wells, pumps, and are used when construting an ashery. They can also be used in place of raw stone or wood in other major constructions (but not in items like crafts or furniture), but the difference is purely in the value[Verify] and style of the construction. A pillar made out of normal stones is called a rough pillar.

Blocks, unlike raw stone or wood, can stack in bins in bar/block stockpiles.

A block has a value of 5 times the multiplier for the material it is made out of. A block made out of pine wood (multiplier of 1☼) has a value of 5☼. A block made out of obsidian (multiplier of 3☼) has a value of 15☼. This doesn't apply to blocks made out of metals. [Verify]
