I'm building a stone base TO THE MOON! 🚀🚀🚀
For one, when placing a fireplace. You can't place the fireplace on the wooden floors but you can on the stone ones.
I've build a central chimney in stone, which acts like a foundation to the entire base around it. Also used a stone pillar to add a hearth to the second floor in the bedroom of my base, so I got the bonuses.
Stone floors do allow you to place campfire and bonfires inside of house without having to have a hole in your floor
Love this <3

I use 1 stone floor as the base for my inside fireplace for my "Tree house" in a black forest biome. It lets me set up camp fires off the ground and inside while being 8 meters of core wood poles off the ground
can you turn the volume any lower like wtf lol
Stone floors are so u can place down things like furnace, kiln, etc
How do you unlock the stone cutter?
how did you get a white beard???
I just got to stone cutting now and I have seen that 1, stone floors do not take weather damage, 2. you can place a campfire on a stone floor. 3. I just like the look of the stone better 😀 but great video never even though of how much the stone can hold, back to my test world to build odd houses and test differant designs 😀 maybe do the first floor all in stone and then the 2nd and 3rd floor in wood 😀
The iron reinforced wood poles seem to work together with stone. I put stone pillars under my floor, and then iron reinforced poles on top of the pillars leading up to my ceiling, and I have blue-strength pieces like 30 feet off the ground.
Super helpful!
You don't need that tbh, the game gives you everytime to make a beautiful, permissive and stable house. You can build almost whatever you want wherever you want. It just demands more wood farm for pillards and beams
Ah yes 5head
Stone floors would probably help with the issue of pillars snapping to the floor instead of the ground, because the stone floor would count as a foundational piece.
Really clear and helpful guide. Thanks also for the chapters.
I never find a use for this because I just raise ground to make a wall lol.
There should be a trick to make stone pieces somehow able to suspend itself midair.
The main use of stone is simply for their high levels of HP to take a beating from say a troll or such. But again raising the ground so the base is out of reach by the enemy is preferable hence everyone builds tree houses.
Hmm
Can I place a campfire on the stone block?
If the logic is almost real life like. Then I think you can put it there
Thank you very informative.
I didn't know this was a possibility, thank you for sharing.
you can clearly use stone floors for the second floor of a castle bottom with a wooden top part or something even more creative
Stone floors I used in the beta to build on water, although I wouldn't call it effective. I built pillars into water, and connected them with a stone floor. https://i.imgur.com/lizY0WL.jpg 4 pillars in a 2×2 formation, and stone floors between. They were barely enough to hold up the floor, but I was dedicated to make a stone structure on water 😀
Also, you have not mentioned but the beams are snapping to all the edges of the stone pieces, so you can also "reinforce" stone structures with wood (or at least it will look like you have a wooden frame and continuous stone wall between the beams.
Stone floors act the same as any other stone building block, it's just that because it's level with the ground anyway it doesn't make any difference.
Has anyone seen a table of what materials which mobs can destroy? For example, are stone walls able to be destroyed by trolls and if not are there mobs that can?
What’s your seed bro, that location is great
ah for sure going to use stone pillars instead of vertical wood beams for support now.
Great video – but could you try not to shake your camera violently when u explain things when u make videos ? thank you
Been playing since launch, in the first few hours I fell into the role of Builder for our server.
I've been playing around with Stone for about a week now, doing some mixing and matching but mainly for aesthetic purposes. This though! This is a game changer!
There are so many of our existing builds that I can now make more elaborate thanks to this.

I've found stone floors are great for making a foundation without shoving a bunch of poles into the dirt and with less need to "perfectly flatten" the ground beforehand. Seeing gaps between the wood floor and the ground from the outside, even small ones, always bothered me and stone floors are chunky enough to bury themselves into the dirt while giving you a level building surface. I've also used them to make a small room below ground to maintain structural integrity on the floor above it.
Also, you can use the archways as support structures to place stone floors higher more easily (and more aesthetically), potentially raising your "foundation" even further.
Even disregarding the ability to build larger, more structurally sound bases, stone is far more durable than wood, including the floor tiles. Build the "lower half" of your primary structures out of stone and they're very safe from most ground-level enemies in the biomes that are safe enough for main structures. This is particularly helpful in the Dark Forest since you get tougher ground-level enemies and trolls can easily rip a wooden structure to pieces in short order.
Stone floors can hold smelters and kilns
use stone floor pieces as you would a wood floor piece if your building a two or more floor high building
What about making a second floor stone floor? How far out can those go? Haven’t made it that far yet, or would test it myself.
As usual, great information. My only critique is that you gotta stop rotating the camera when you're pointing stuff out.
If you used stone floor as a 2nd or 3rd level everything you build off of that will be a foundational piece essentially allowing you to build forever?
I use stone a lot, and have found out it is great for reinforcing building like you showed in your video, but is really great for defensive walls. Trolls can clobber through in a few hits your palisades, but stone walls and defensive structures can withstand a long time against their attacks. Also the stone floor slabs stack up, so you if you want to use up the stone to make it, they can be used to make walls as well that look a lot better, and are stronger than regular stone walls.
i found that if you put a wood floor on the stone floor that is unroofed, it wont get damaged by the rain for some reason.
For example, i made a wood floor part 1st for my base where in 9 floors, the middle floor had a stone floor under it and after it had rained for few days, the wood floors around the middle 1 would be damaged down to 50% and the middle 1 was perfectly fine.
