How To Make Stone Walls In Rimworld

Stone walls are one of the most essential building structures in Rimworld for creating secure bases and defensive positions. This guide will walk you through the complete process of mining stone, processing it into blocks, and constructing durable stone walls for your colony.

Step 1: Mine Your Stone Resources

The first step in creating stone walls is to mine raw stone from your map. Begin by selecting a stone deposit, such as slate, and click on it to designate it for mining. Select “Mine” as the work order.

As you explore your map, you’ll notice large stone chunks scattered across the terrain. To efficiently gather these resources, double-click on the chunks and press P on your keyboard to haul them. A blue arrow will appear on the selected chunks, indicating they will be transported to the nearest available stockpile that accepts chunks.

Step 2: Process Stone Into Blocks

Once your stone chunks are in a stockpile, you’ll need to convert them into usable stone blocks. Build a Stone Cutter’s Table in your base.

After placing the table, click on it and select “Bills” then “Add Bill.” You can now choose which type of stone blocks to create. Your options include:

Slate blocks

Granite blocks

Limestone blocks

Marble blocks

Sandstone blocks

Select the stone type that matches your available resources. For example, you can choose “Make Slate Blocks” and specify the quantity—either a set number of times or set it to run forever for continuous production.

Your colonists will automatically retrieve the stone chunks from the stockpile and begin cutting them into blocks at the Stone Cutter’s Table. You can prioritize this task by selecting “Prioritize Cutting Stone” to ensure it gets completed quickly.

Step 3: Build Your Stone Walls

With your stone blocks ready, you can now construct the actual walls. Navigate to the “Structure” menu in your building options.

Instead of selecting the default “Wooden Wall,” click on the stone wall option corresponding to your block type—for instance, “Slate Wall.”

Simply click and drag across your desired wall placement to build your stone walls. Your colonists will construct them automatically using the processed stone blocks.

Summary

Creating stone walls in Rimworld is a straightforward three-step process: mine stone chunks from the map, haul them to a stockpile, process them into blocks using a Stone Cutter’s Table, and finally construct your walls using the building menu. Stone walls provide superior protection compared to wooden alternatives, making them an excellent investment for any growing colony. With this knowledge, you’re ready to build a fortress that will stand against any threat.
