Stone Blocks for Traders?

[Undecided Name For Now]

Stone blocks with traders?
How do I trade them? What kind will actually be able to buy them?

[Wiawyr]

Bulk goods traders should buy them, I think there's one other one, possibly textiles?

Orbital bulk goods and towns. It's a random option for them between all raw resources, so you wont see it every time, but you should always be able to sell to them.

Bulk goods caravans used to have the option, I'm not seeing it in their traderkinddef any more, I don't remember offhand if they ever sell or buy them these days, it looks like not.

There is no textiles trader?

Yes there is, it's an orbital trader.

Textiles and prosthesis traders are added by the EPOE mod.

Huh, gusss I missed that since I added Supply and Demand, Orbital Trade Beacons, and EPOE at nearly the same time. My mistake then.

I'll just hope to find one randomly, or do a quick godmode cheat and check them all out.
then reload and turn it off

Bulk Goods it seems.

I haven't seen anyone asking for stone blocks for a long time. But when I get excess, I turn them into furniture, or make a lot of stone walking paths More traders seem to buy those furniture items.

craft them into statues = +100% more money per ressource with a lvl 20 artist.

This^

Extremely more efficient if you have the manpower. Also, while rocks are usually pretty common, they are semi-finite on a map without mods (if you use them all up, you can get more via meteors, but that's rare). You'd have to be playing on a low resource map, or for a VERY long time to use them all, but still =p

I don't have anyone yet who's a fantastic artist, but if it's way more money, then I'll do it.
Any particular size? I have colonists starting to go idle for once.

I play at highest map size and (usually) mountains with rainforest.
Lots of wood and stone.
Sadly current map is not mountains.

Only one way to get better.

For size I usually go medium. They only take up 1 tile if you place them, and arent as resource intensive. They obviously will be worth less than a large sculpture and take less work, but it seems like pretty good middle ground.

I am not sure if there is any "best" option - I havent crunched those numbers.

The amount of work is no problem.
I'm looking for best money per stone block used.
