How Many Satchels for a Stone Floor?
10 satchels
10 Satchels destroys a Stone Floor (500 HP), from either side. That's 4,800 sulfur once you count the gunpowder, and about 1m 20s to place.
Timed Explosive Charge is cheaper for this.
2× Timed Explosive Charge costs 4,400 sulfur against 4,800 for 10 Satchels — a difference of 400 sulfur per a Stone Floor. If you've already got the Satchels, use them; if you're farming from scratch, don't.
What 10 Satchels costs
These are full craft costs — the sulfur figure includes everything that goes into the gunpowder, which is why it's bigger than the recipe on the item page suggests. Sulfur is the number that actually matters, because it's the thing you farm.

Are Satchels the cheapest way to raid a Stone Floor?expand_more
No. Timed Explosive Charge is cheaper on sulfur for this target — 2× costs 4,400 sulfur versus 4,800 for 10 Satchels. That said, cheapest isn't always right: Satchels may be faster to place or already in your base, and sulfur you've already farmed is a sunk cost.
How much sulfur is 10 Satchels?expand_more
4,800 sulfur, plus 7,200 charcoal and 800 metal fragments. That's the full craft cost including the gunpowder each satchel needs, not just the final recipe.
How long does it take to raid a Stone Floor with Satchels?expand_more
About 1m 20s of placement time for 10 — that's the deploy time, not the farming. The farming is the real cost, and it's why people check this number before they commit.
Amounts come from the same sourced raid chart as our raid calculator and every /raid/ page, so they can't disagree with each other — verified for the Livestock wipe. Deployables and external walls are approximate; always test on your own server build. Sulfur includes the full gunpowder chain.
