Mortared Sandstone

Used to create tough but rudimentary buildings.

Notes

Mortared Sandstone is a tier-2 building block crafted from the Mortared Stone skill, offering a sturdier upgrade from basic tier-1 materials like lumber or mortared stone. Placing these blocks in a room’s walls, floor, or ceiling qualifies it as tier-2, which significantly boosts housing value for faster skill-point gain and unlocks higher-tier crafting-table upgrades. Stocking a store with this early on helps the whole town accelerate progression, since better rooms benefit every resident’s XP rate.
