=== Rock layers ===
While there are many types of stone in Vintage Story, some of them can spawn in specific layers. These form a sort of rock "biome", and the rock layer in an area dictates what types of ores can spawn there. There are three main types of rock layer, '''sedimentary''', '''metamorphic''' and '''igneous''', with a fourth type of '''volcanic''' rock (in reality a subset of igneous rock) that has different spawning rules.
{{protip|Rock layers are always found in a certain order: from top (surface) to bottom, they go Basalt > Sedimentary > Metamorphic > Igneous > Kimberlite.}}
Sedimentary rocks that can spawn in layers include:
* Claystone
* Chalk
* Chert
* Conglomerate
* Limestone
* Sandstone
* Shale
Metamorphic rocks that can spawn in layers include:
* Bauxite<nowiki>*</nowiki>
* Slate
* Phyllite
* Marble†
<br/><nowiki>*</nowiki>No ores spawn in bauxite.<br/>†Marble spawns within slate or phyllite layers.
Igneous rocks that can spawn in layers includue:
* Andesite
* Basalt<nowiki>*</nowiki>
* Peridotite
* Granite
<br/><nowiki>*</nowiki>Basalt uniquely spawns ''above'' all other rock types.
Additionally, ores can be found in suevite rock, which is always an indication of meteor impact and found on the surface, and in kimberlite, an igneous rock found only near the core of the world.
