Added the fact that small stones can be found throughout the world as-is and don't need to be created through the use of a tool. Also added that boulders drop small stones. Consolidated the breaking of stone blocks by using either a pickaxe or blasting bomb as the relevant outcome, here, is the same.

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].

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.

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.

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 === <!--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 [[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]].

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:

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>

== Uses == <!--T:11-->
===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: Halite, Obsidian, Scoria and Tuff.


===Small Stones === <!--T:12-->
===Stone Blocks === <!--T:55-->
Stone tools made by [[knapping|knapping]] small stones can only be created from '''andesite, basalt, chert, granite, peridotite, flint 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, Obsidian, Scoria and Tuff.
