As a general rule granite will be better against multiple smaller phys hits but basalt works better against giant slams.
Basalt vs granite age.
Its high iron content gives it magnetic properties and it may show signs of rust when exposed to air.
I rolled a 40 duration 100 inc armour granite double perfect and my armour is.
Theres no definitive answer.
Depending on the properties like hardness toughness specific heat capacity porosity etc rocks are resistant to heat wear impact etc granite is heat resistant wear resistant whereas basalt is heat resistant pressure resistant wear resistant.
Basalt and granite are two types of igneous rocks that we can find on earth.
Basalt can form in a few days to months whereas granite plutons can take millions of years to cool and harden.
The key difference between basalt and granite is that basalt is mostly occurring on ocean floors while granite is in the crust of the earth in all continents.
Summary basalt vs granite.
It is mostly made out of quartz mica and feldspar.
Plagioclase amphibole and pyroxene sometimes feldspathoids or olivine.
Basalt wikipedia wikimedia foundation 13 sept.
Fuck granites they re not that impressive at those stats.
The specific heat capacity of granite is 0 79 kj kg k and that of basalt is 0 84 kj kg k.
My impression is that granite is better than basalt until very high armour where you start getting diminishing returns but there could be something i m not considering.
Is there math out there or a tldr description of how to choose.
It depends on the size of the hits you want to tank your current armour stats and what other sources of phys reduction you already have end charges aa etc.
I wonder if my firestormer should be looking at basalts as well.
The tetrahedron is constructed using the normative components olivine quartz clinopyroxene and nepheline.
Basalt is a mafic extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava rich in magnesium and iron exposed at or very near the surface of a terrestrial planet or a moon.
Basalt as a mafic rock contains more calcium oxide manganese oxide and iron compounds than granite.
Basalt igneous rock composition mafic.
More than 90 of all volcanic rock on earth is basalt and the eruption of basalt lava is observed by.
Basalt is still marginally better with your setup ever so slightly.
Basalt is more common in oceanic crust while granite is more common in continental crust.

Granite is a felsic rock meaning that it has a high silicon content.
