Sometimes you might just find stone more aesthetically pleasing. Stone pieces take absolutely no damage in the rain so you are save to use them out in the elements wherever you want. Buildings will never break down when exposed to rain but it is pretty dangerous leaving your walls and floor pieces at 50% integrity when the rain comes. Wooden objects also, if exposed to the rain, will degrade down to 50% of their total integrity. Enemies will take a lot longer to break down a stone wall than they would with a wooden one, so obviously when it comes to defense, stone is king. One of the main things you will notice is that stone has a larger health pool than wood. Stone is great for getting that castle look or just in general building a different style of house than a wooden one.Īpart from simply the aesthetic value that stone brings there are a number of advantages that come with building with stone instead of wood. Stone objects are considerably heavier than their wooden counterparts so you may have to experiment with different placement locations and even manipulate the terrain using the hoe tool. You will see that you can’t really make bridges from stone unless you build all the way up from the ground. You will be using the Hammer to do all of your stone buildingīe careful when placing these stone floors and walls as they follow a different integrity system to wooden objects. One thing that you can use Iron for is building an object called a ‘Stonecutter’ which can be found in the ‘crafting’ tab of the hammer’s build menu. By mining these piles you will be able to find scrap iron, which can then be processed in a smelter in order to get iron, which can be used for a variety of different things. Inside the sunken crypts you will find old dirt piles known as scrap piles. With this swamp key you will be able to open up the sunken crypts that are found throughout the Swamp biome. Once you have beaten the second forsaken of the game, The Elder, you will receive an item called the Swamp Key.
