Stone blocks cannot be supported by wood so it can be tricky to build say a stone ceiling for the floor of the second level for example.

Wood-iron beams are a great solution for this. When stone touches wood-iron it s treated as ground (blue) .

That's not the way it works in my experience. Wood-iron beams do add support to stone, but they don't turn the stone into a base part. The only think I know of that works that way is that stone acks as ground for wood, so you can build a tall wooden roof, for example, on a stone wall that is at or near max height.
