'''Rocks''' are what form the entire underground of Vintage Story, with large swathes of rock covering different amounts of the surface and underground. Often there are multiple rock types in one location as long as you dig deep enough. Rocks can contain {{ll|Ore Deposits|Ore Deposits}}, which can be used for creating {{ll|metal|metal}} or crafting with {{ll|gemstones|gemstones}}.

==Natural Generation== <!--T:3-->

Twenty types of rock variants may exist in the world, and are created during world generation. The appearance of each block indicates the type, which dictates its uses and which ore deposits may be found in the rock. As of version 1.9, ores only appear in certain rock types. Examining a rock while holding (Sneak + H), will provide information about which ores can appear in that rock type.

==Rock strata== <!--T:7-->

Different types of rock are found in different places in the world and vary based on geological layers. There are many rock variants: Andesite, Basalt, Bauxite, Chalk, Chert, Claystone, Conglomerate, Granite, Halite, Kimberlite, Limestone, Marble (white, pink cream or green), Obsidian, Peridotite, Phyllite, Sandstone, Scoria, Shale, Slate, Suevite and Tuff. Marble appears as any of the three colors listed in parenthesis, and generates similarly to ore generation. Many of the rocks can be made into cobblestone blocks for each rock, e.g. sandstone cobble, Basalt cobble. Each kind of cobblestone is a different color.

=== Sedimentary rocks === <!--T:22-->

Sedimentary rocks are generally found near the surface, above metamorphic or igneous rock (with the exception of basalt). These are generally softer rocks, making them unsuitable for toolmaking. However, many different types of {{ll|Ore Deposits|ores}} can be found in sedimentary rock, especially lower-tier metals such as {{ll|copper|copper}} and the components of various useful alloys like {{ll|bronze|bronze}}.

== Harvesting == <!--T:8-->

All rock requires a {{ll|pickaxe|pickaxe}} to mine.  

===Collecting Small Stones=== <!--T:9-->

{{Breaking}} a block using a pickaxe drops {{ll|knapping|small stones}}. They are also dropped when destroyed by an {{ll|ore blasting bomb|ore blasting bomb}}.

===Relieving Stone Blocks=== <!--T:10-->

[[File:Optimal Rock Mining.png|300px|thumb|right|One of the optimal ways to mine full rocks.]]

Solid stone blocks can be collected through a process called "relieving". To relieve a stone block, break the stone blocks connected to each face of the stone block, such that all six faces of the cube are adjacent to air. Currently, stones do not obey gravity.<br>

You can find a tutorial video farther down, showing how to use the pattern shown to the right effectively ingame.

== Uses == <!--T:11-->

The {{ll|Quern|quern}} may only be created from stone blocks including '''andesite, basalt, granite or peridotite'''. Stone blocks are used to craft building materials including stone bricks. A polished variant can be created using a hammer and chisel in the crafting grid, and polished stone may also be split to create slabs. It is important to note that some types of stone cannot be polished or used to create slabs, including: Halite, Obsidian, Scoria and Tuff.

===Stones === <!--T:12-->

Stone tools made by {{ll|knapping|knapping}} stones can only be created from '''andesite, basalt, chert, granite, peridotite, flint or obsidian'''. Most types of stones can be used to create construction materials including cobblestone blocks and stone path blocks. It is important to note that some types of stone cannot be used to create cobblestone or stone bricks, including: Halite, Obsidian, Scoria and Tuff.

====Special Use of Stones==== <!--T:13-->

Some stones can be converted to useful powders by crushing with a hammer in the crafting grid, or grinding in the quern.

* Chalk, Limestone, Marble small stone powder creates lime for {{ll|Leather_Working|leather working}}.
