Blocks

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

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 four types of stone blocks players can craft: 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 or used to create cobblestone.

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.

Cobblestone blocks

Cobblestone blocks require clay , and small stones to create.

• Block shapes: Three variants can be created, full blocks, slabs, and stairs.
• Material variant: Almost any small stone variant can be used to craft these blocks.
• Appearance: The type of materials used in crafting affects the appearance of the block.

Blocks must be assembled in the crafting grid as shown below.

Drystone blocks

Drystone blocks require a stone brick and loose stones to create.

• Block Shapes: Full blocks and fences can be created - the fences do not require stone bricks in their crafting.
• Material Variant: Almost any rock variant can be used to craft these blocks.
• Appearance: The type of materials used in crafting affects the appearance of the block.

Mixed drystone blocks

Mixed drystone blocks are a fancy and multicolored variant of the drystone blocks, introduced in v1.15.

• Block Shapes: Full blocks and fences can be created.
• Material Variant: 8 different small stones are required, as well as a brick (replaced by a board of any type for the fence). For the recipe to be validated, those 8 small stones must be placed each in a precise slot of the crafting grid. Phyllite stone is probably the most difficult stone to reach, because phyllite layers lay deep underground.
