It is just the perimeter of the base.

You are missing a couple pieces of vital information. For one, how high is the pyramid? Two, how big are the blocks. Three, how exactly are they stacked? Basically, we need to be able to compare one layer to the next. Once you do that, you've got a line running up the corner. I can have a flattish pyramid or a tall pointy one. My guess is the programmers decided on whatever was useful for the game, constrained most likely by visual graphics (you can't have something that obstructs view).

Pyramid
A pyramid is a polyhedron of which one side, the base, is a polygon (not necessarily
a regular polygon), and all the rest are triangles sharing a common point, the vertex.
A pyramid is regular if the base is a regular polygon and the other faces are congruent
isosceles triangles
Height: h
Area of base: B
Slant height: s (regular pyramid)
Perimeter of base: P
Lateral surface area: S
Volume: V
S = sP/2 (regular pyramid)
V = hB/3
Prism
A polyhedron with two congruent, parallel bases that are polygons,
and all remaining faces parallelograms.
Height: h
Area of base: B
Length of lateral edge: l
Area of right section: A
Perimeter of right section: P
Lateral surface area: S
Volume: V
S = lP
V = hB = lA
You will need to rearrange the formulas, but surely you can do that with the info aforementioned.
