WoodCrafting one takes 5 seconds and earns 7.25 XP. The ARK Wiki infobox gives the same recipe, the same 8 engram points and the same crafting time and XP as our data, while the engram level comes from our records alone.
Weight and how it can be damaged
Each Grindstone weighs 4, and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. For damage, the game treats it as a thatch structure. The wiki adds that anything except non-explosive ranged attacks can harm it.
