A '''grand stele''' is a purely decorative [[Miscellaneous]] structure. A stele provides less [[beauty]] than most [[sculptures]] and require more resources, but have no [[quality]].
+
A '''grand stele''' is a purely decorative structure, it's large sized and provides less beauty than a normal statue however you can build large steles without skilled artists.
 
 
They are the larger, more beautiful version of the [[large stele]].

Constructing a grand stele requires [[Research#Complex furniture|Complex Furniture]] to be researched and 125 of any one type of [[stone]] and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make #}}}} of work to construct.
+
Constructing a large stele requires [[Research#Complex furniture|Complex Furniture]] to be researched and 125 of any one type of [[stone]] and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make #}}}} of work to make.
 
 
Steles may also be found in [[ruins]] throughout the map.
 
 
 
== Summary ==
 
Grand steles add [[beauty]] to its surroundings. The beauty rating is added to the single, bottom-left-most tile a pawn can see. They are the larger, more beautiful version of the [[large stele]]. Despite their size, they do not count as a [[wall]].
 
 
 
Grand steles can also be used as an Artistic [[meditation focus]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}. Meditation Focus Strength of +18% psyfocus/day. It appears that no other modifiers exist for steles as they do for other foci.{{Check Tag|Fact Check Needed|Based on game code only}}
 
 
 
You may need to build steles for a [[Quests#Build_Monument|Momument quest]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, in which they act as a time and resource sink.
 
 
 
== Analysis ==
 
Steles are less beautiful when compared to [[sculpture]]s, even of the same material, with the only redeeming aspect being their higher HP and lack of [[quality]].
 
  
For the same cost as a single grand stele, you can construct {{#expr: {{P|Resource 1 Amount}}/{{Q|Small sculpture|Resource 1 Amount}} }} [[small sculpture]]s. Small sculptures have {{#expr: {{Q|Small sculpture|Beauty Base}}*0.5}} beauty at Poor quality, and even a pawn with [[Artistic]] Skill 0 will average {{#expr: {{P|Resource 1 Amount}}/{{Q|Small sculpture|Resource 1 Amount}} * 0.3535 round 1}} Poor quality or better sculptures with the same resource investment. At even modest Artistic levels, sculptures are more efficient in terms of time, stone blocks, ''and'' space.
+
==Analysis==
 +
All grand steles require 250 material, provide 50% cover, have 0% flammability, and have a light terrain requirement. Grand steles provide twice the amount of beauty, and health as [[Large stele]]s for twice the material and build cost, while being 1x1 larger.
  
Compared to [[large stele]]s, grand steles provide twice the amount of beauty and health, for twice the material and work. The grand stele is slightly less efficient than large steles for space, as a grand stele requires 9 tiles of space while 2 large steles of equal beauty require only 8.

While the examples that naturally spawn in ruins can be built around to benefit from their beauty, the beauty bonus is small enough for this to rarely be relevant. Instead, they are often better used by deconstructing them for their resources.

=== As a construction ===
 
Steles have some merit in training the construction skill. Have a pawn work on the stele, and right before it finishes, cancel the construction. You will get 75% of the resources back, and your pawn will have spent a lot of time constructing. In order to maximize building speed, slow your pawn as much as possible, such as by putting them in [[light|darkness]].
