With all these settings in place, your cook will stand in place, cook all their meals at once, then leave until you've run out of meals. Cooking is now efficiently automated. There are many other items that use the bill system. With a little adjustment, you can get colonists to do roughly what you want. | With all these settings in place, your cook will stand in place, cook all their meals at once, then leave until you've run out of meals.

− | [[ | + | To make workable stone blocks, you'll need a [[stonecutter's table]]. The stonecutter's table uses the same bill system as the stoves. See the above subsection for details on all that. Each stone chunk produces 20 stone blocks. The specific type of stone is mostly irrelevant at this stage of the game. |
− | + | Stone is best for walls, as it is more durable than both wood and steel. Stone is ''not'' good for [[door]]s. This is because stone doors open slowly. When you have a wood door surrounded by stone walls, the fire risk is minimal. Only 1 tile can be set on fire, which is not a problem. Stone can also be used for furniture, but it takes a long time to build stone objects. | |

− | + | '''Note:''' When replacing your wood walls, watch out for [[roof]] collapses! Roof will collapse if there isn't a wall within 6 tiles in it. With this in mind, replace your walls in small sections at a time. | |
