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 [[Ore Deposits]], which can be used for creating [[Metal]] or crafting with [[Gemstones]].
There is a useful spreadsheet for sharing what ores generate in what types of rock located [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-KHSpw0-EoLt9XL1I20AhkmM8tnRu1qgBkz-d7hN2r4/edit#gid=0 here].

==Natural Generation==
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.

[[File:Rock Layers.png|200px|thumb|right|An example of rock layer generation.]]
There are different formations of rock layers that generate throughout the world. Typically you will have 3 layers of stone in a location, unless the top layer is volcanic, in which case there will typically be 4.

Due to the distortion and mapping of the various rock layers, it is possible to end up with a sedimentary rock layer below an igneous layer, or even 2 igneous layers on top of one another. The table is more a general guideline than a rule.


==Stone Types==
==Stone Types==
Different types of rock are found in different places in the world and vary based on geological layers. Rock types that exist include Andesite, Basalt, Bauxite, Chalk, Chert, Claystone, Conglomerate, Granite, Halite, Kimberlite, Limestone, Marble, Obsidian, Peridotite, Phyllite, Sandstone, Scoria, Shale, Slate, Suevite and Tuff. Each of the 20 types of rock appears as a different color and offers a wide range of material options for construction. Marble is an exception as this one rock type exists in three variants: it may be white, pink cream or green.
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.
 
=== Grass Variants ===
Rock/Stone does not have a grass coverage variant and always appears bare when exposed to the surface.

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


===Relieving Stone Blocks===
===Relieving Stone Blocks===
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.

===Small Stones ===
===Small Stones ===
Stone tools made by [[knapping|knapping]] small stones can only be created from '''andesite, basalt, granite, peridotite, or obsidian'''. Most types of small 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: Bauxite, Halite, Kimberlite, Marble, Obsidian, Scoria, Suevite and Tuff.
