Enshrouded Building Blocks — Types, Unlocks and Costs

Building blocks are the palette of every build. Each family has its own unlock trigger and recipe — here is how the system is organized.

The unlock rule

Almost every block set unlocks the moment you gather its base material for the first time. That keeps progression natural: you never buy block recipes, you discover them by playing.

The starter sets

Rough sets are cheap and honest — the right choice for functional walls, early defenses, and anything you plan to rebuild later.

The refined sets (Table Saw)

Once the Carpenter sets up his Table Saw, planks become the feedstock for finished styles, usually crafted in 100-piece packs:

• 10 Planks → 100 Ornate Wood Blocks
• 8 Planks + 2 Wood Logs → 100 Refined Wood Blocks
• 3 Planks + 7 Limestone → 100 Fancy Stone Blocks

Planks themselves come from the Table Saw — one log becomes two planks in 60 seconds — so a large refined build wants a stocked saw and a nearby wood grove. Material flow is covered on the building materials page.

Region and tier sets

Higher regions bring their own materials and block identities — Shroud Wood for dark builds, tarred wood for weathered structures, castle-grade stone for late-game fortresses. If you are building in a themed style, plan a gathering trip to the region whose blocks match.

Which set should you build with?

• Early survival: rough wood and stone — cheap, fast, refundable
• Permanent base: refined or ornate — the cost is real but so is the look
• Themed projects: match blocks to region for visual identity
