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. | Different types of rock are found in different places in the world and vary based on geological layers.

Rock strata, or layers, can be grouped into one of three types: sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous. These categories differ by how these rocks are created. While there are many other types of rock, the rocks in this section are those generated as layers by the game. | Rock strata, or layers, can be grouped into one of three types: sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous.

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 [[Ore Deposits|ores]] can be found in sedimentary rock, especially lower-tier metals such as [[copper]] and the components of various useful alloys like [[bronze]]. | Sedimentary rocks are generally found near the surface, above metamorphic or igneous rock (with the exception of basalt).

Igneous rock is usually found underneath sedimentary and metamorphic rock. '''Basalt''' is an exception to this, as it can appear above any other rock layer. Igneous rocks are hard and well suited to toolmaking, as well as for use in [[Quern|querns]]. Igneous rock types include: | Igneous rock is usually found underneath sedimentary and metamorphic rock.
