Build time and upgrade cost by level
Every upgrade to Quarry costs food, wood, stone and iron in a fixed 1 : 0.8 : 0.5 : 0.4 ratio, and takes a time derived from this plot's own base of 4 seconds. The curve has two phases: it climbs gently to level 26 — the end of the opening ramp, which the whole early game is paced around — and compounds harder above it, so the summit costs a real hoard as well as real patience.
| Level | Build time | Food | Wood | Stone | Iron |

Stone output by level
Output is strictly linear in the plot's level: 4.2 stone per second for each level standing — the realm runs at 3× speed, so the plot's own base figure of 1.4 a second is multiplied by that, the same factor every build timer on this page is divided by. Seasons then multiply it — a winter cuts food production to 45% of this and gathering to 60%, and a Long Night is harsher still — as do studied production research and the favour of your smallfolk. The Intro Era — the pre-alpha's standing acceleration, applied to every producer in the realm — multiplies the whole stack by 2.5× on top of that, so a level of this plot is really worth 10.5 a second while it lasts.
| Level | Per second | Per hour | Per day |

| 1 | 4.2 | 15,120 | 362,880 |

What stone is spent on
Stone pays for every construction order and the walls, spikes and works that keep a raider outside them. Every building upgrade in the game bills the four resources in a fixed ratio, and stone is charged at 0.5× the headline figure — the fourth largest share of the four.

The second plot — Quarry II
At Keep 15 a second plot of this kind opens — Quarry II. A second quarry face, freshly opened. It is the same building in every respect that matters: the same 4-second base, the same cost curve, and the same 1.4 per second per level. That is what makes Keep 15 the most valuable single level of the opening: it does not improve this resource's income, it doubles its ceiling.
| Level of each plot | One plot per hour | Both plots per hour | Both plots per day |

| 15 | 226,800 | 453,600 | 10,886,400 |
| 19 | 287,280 | 574,560 | 13,789,440 |
