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]].

==Stone Types==

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. 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.

== Harvesting ==

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

===Relieving Stone Blocks===

===Stone Blocks ===

The [[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: Bauxite, Halite, Kimberlite, Obsidian, Scoria, Suevite and Tuff.

===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: Halite, Kimberlite, Marble, Obsidian, Scoria, Suevite and Tuff.

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

* Chalk and Limestone small stone powder creates lime for [[Leather_Working|leather working]].

** Lime powder, when heated are consumed two by two to produces one quicklime used in creating [[mortar]], or [[Plaster|plaster]] blocks.

* Halite small stone powder creates two [[Salt|salt]] for [[Food_preservation|food preservation]].
