Blocks

Stone blocks are blocks constructed using clay , mortar , and rock items including small stones, relieved rock, and ashlar blocks.

Creation

Vintage Story models a variety of stone types that appear in different locations and vary by color. Most can be carved, crafted, or polished into different patterns.

There are five types of stone blocks players can craft: cobblestone, fanned cobblestone, dry stone, polished stone, and ashlar blocks. All of these types of blocks are created using the crafting grid. Stone types that can be used to create stone blocks listed below include: andesite, basalt, chalk, chert, claystone, conglomerate, granite, limestone, peridotite, phyllite, sandstone, shale, and slate. Marble may be polished, but cannot be converted to brick.

Looting

Many ruins are built from granite cobblestone components; others may be built of stone brick blocks, even raw stone blocks. Cobblestone blocks from ruins may be collected by breaking them without a tool. Though no tool is required, collecting blocks is faster when a pickaxe is equipped.

Cobble skull blocks may not be crafted by players, but may only be looted from ruins. They only come in the full block shape. Most cobble skulls found in those ruins are made from granite, sometimes from sandstone, but variants of other rock types exist, though very difficult to find.
