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 {{ll|Ore Deposits|Ore Deposits}}, which can be used for creating {{ll|metal|metal}} or crafting with {{ll|gemstones|gemstones}}.
<!--T:2-->
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== <!--T:3-->
<!--T:35-->
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.
<!--T:36-->
[[File:Rock Layers.png|200px|thumb|right|An example of rock layer generation.]]
<!--T:4-->
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.

<!--T:6-->
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.
==Rock strata== <!--T:7-->
<!--T:49-->
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.
<!--T:21-->
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.
=== Sedimentary rocks === <!--T:22-->
<!--T:50-->
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 {{ll|Ore Deposits|ores}} can be found in sedimentary rock, especially lower-tier metals such as {{ll|copper|copper}} and {{ll|lead|lead}}. Sedimentary layers also contain many secondary materials such as {{ll|coal|coal}}, {{ll|sulfur|sulfur}}, and {{ll|borax|borax}}.
<!--T:23-->
Sedimentary rock types are:


==Natural Generation==
<!--T:24-->
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.
* Claystone
* Sandstone
* Chert
* Shale
* Conglomerate
* Bauxite
* Chalk
* Limestone


==Stone Types==
=== Metamorphic rocks === <!--T:25-->
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.


=== Grass Variants ===
<!--T:26-->
Rock/Stone does not have a grass coverage variant and always appears bare when exposed to the surface.
Metamorphic rock is usually found under sedimentary rock but above igneous rock. Metamorphic rock types include:


== Harvesting ==
<!--T:27-->
All rock requires a [[pickaxe]] to mine.
* Phyllite
* Slate
* Marble (found as deposits in phyllite or slate)


===Collecting Small Stones===
=== Igneous rock === <!--T:28-->
Left click on the block using the pickaxe to break/harvest the block. When mined, solid rock blocks drops [[knapping|small stones]].


===Relieving Stone Blocks===
<!--T:29-->
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 you wish to harvest are adjacent to air. Currently, stones do not obey gravity.  
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 {{ll|Quern|querns}}. Igneous rock types include:


== Uses ==
<!--T:30-->
===Stone Blocks ===
* Andesite
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.
* Granite
* Peridotite
* Basalt


===Small Stones ===
== Harvesting == <!--T:8-->
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.


====Special Use Small Stones====
<!--T:51-->
Some small stones can be converted to useful powders by crushing with a hammer in the crafting grid, or grinding in the quern.
All rock requires a {{ll|pickaxe|pickaxe}} to mine.
* Chalk and Limestone small stone powder creates lime for [[Leather_Working|leather working]].
 
** Lime powder, when (2) heated, produces (1X) quicklime used in creating mortar, or [[Plaster|plaster]] blocks.
===Collecting Small Stones=== <!--T:9-->
* Halite small stone powder creates salt for [[Food_preservation|food preservation]].
 
<!--T:52-->
Small stones are found lying on the ground throughout the world and can be picked up. Boulders are larger stones lying on the ground and can be hit with just about anything to break them into small stones. {{breaking|Breaking}} a stone block using a [[pickaxe]] or an {{ll|ore blasting bomb|ore blasting bomb}} drops {{ll|knapping|small stones}}.
 
===Relieving Stone Blocks=== <!--T:10-->
 
<!--T:53-->
[[File:Optimal Rock Mining.png|300px|thumb|right|One of the optimal ways to mine full rocks.]]
 
<!--T:54-->
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>
You can find a tutorial video farther down, showing how to use the pattern shown to the right effectively ingame.
 
== Uses == <!--T:11-->
 
===Stone Blocks === <!--T:55-->
 
<!--T:56-->
The {{ll|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.
 
===Stones === <!--T:12-->
 
<!--T:57-->
Stone tools made by {{ll|knapping|knapping}} stones can only be created from '''andesite, basalt, chert, granite, peridotite, flint or obsidian'''. Most types of 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.
 
====Special Use of Stones==== <!--T:13-->
 
<!--T:58-->
Some stones can be converted to useful powders by crushing with a hammer in the crafting grid, or grinding in the quern.
* Chalk, Limestone, Marble small stone powder creates lime for {{ll|Leather_Working|leather working}}.
** Lime powder, when heated are consumed two by two to produces one quicklime used in creating {{ll|mortar|mortar}}, or {{ll|Plaster|plaster}} blocks.
* Halite small stone powder creates two {{ll|Salt|salt}} for {{ll|Food_preservation|food preservation}}.
* Chalk and Limestone small stones may be used (intact) as pigments to label signs.
* Chalk and Limestone small stones may be used (intact) as pigments to label signs.
* Bauxite is used in the Pulverizer to turn into crushed bauxite, which is used to make refractory bricks, required for {{ll|Steel making|Steel Making}}.


== Storage ==
==Stone Type and Use Chart== <!--T:14-->
Both small stones and Stone blocks stack to 64, and may be carried in player inventory or stored in [[containers#stationary containers|stationary containers]].
