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, and metal blocks can be made at the forge.

Blocks are required to make wells, pumps, and are used when constructing an ashery. They can also be used in place of raw stone or wood in roads and other major constructions (but not in items like crafts or furniture), but the difference is purely in the value. 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☼. Blocks do not have quality levels.
