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 here.

自然生成

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.

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.

Types of Rock Layer Generation
Max Thickness	Volcanic	Sedimentary	Metamorphic	火成岩
盾	0	0	0	255
Platform	0	40	10	255
Orogen	0	20	10	255
Basin	0	50	15	255
Large Igneous Province	30	20	0	255
Extended Crust	30	40	0	255

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

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.

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

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 ores can be found in sedimentary rock, especially lower-tier metals such as copper and lead . Sedimentary layers also contain many secondary materials such as coal , sulfur , and borax .

Sedimentary rock types are:

• Claystone
• Sandstone
• Chert
• Shale
• Conglomerate
• Bauxite
• Chalk
• Limestone

Metamorphic rocks

Metamorphic rock is usually found under sedimentary rock but above igneous rock. Metamorphic rock types include:

• Phyllite
• Slate
• Marble (found as deposits in phyllite or slate)

Igneous rock

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 querns . Igneous rock types include:

• 安山岩
• 花崗岩
• 橄欖岩
• 玄武岩

收穫

All rock requires a pickaxe to mine.

Collecting Small Stones

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 a stone block using a pickaxe or an ore blasting bomb drops small stones .

When a large amount of stones is needed (to create many Paths for example), boulders can be found in large numbers in areas made up of mostly rock and gravel. A short harvest can reward over a thousand stones.

Relieving Stone Blocks

One of the optimal ways to mine full rocks.

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.
You can find a tutorial video farther down, showing how to use the pattern shown to the right effectively ingame.

用途

Rock

Rock can be polished with a hammer and chisel for building. Polished rock can be broken down further into slabs and bricks, which can be used to make stone ashlar blocks. Halite, Obsidian, Scoria, and Tuff cannot be polished. Rock isalso used to craft the anchor for a sailboat .

A few important items can only be crafted with Andesite, Basalt, Granite, or Peridotite rock:

• The quern is used for grinding materials into powder, such as producing lime from Chalk or Limestone stones, or grinding grain into flour .
• The pulverizer is used for pounding materials too hard to grind, such as quartz , cinnabar , or alum . Harder materials require higher tiers of pounder caps.
• The stone coffin and lid for steel making .

Stones

Stones can be used to create cobblestone and stone path . Halite, Obsidian, Scoria, and Tuff cannot be made into cobblestone.

安山岩、玄武岩、燧石、花崗岩和橄欖岩都可以打制 工具。

Chalk and Limestone stones may be used as pigment for writing.

Some stones can be converted to useful powders by grinding them in the quern . Grinding Chalk, Limestone, or Marble stones creates lime for leather working or creating quicklime for mortar or plaster . Grinding Halite produces two salt for preserving food and making cheese .

Crushing Bauxite stones in a pulverizer with pounder caps of at least tier 2 creates crushed bauxite, which is used to make refractory bricks , which are required to produce steel . They can also be used in a beehive kiln , to provide much higher durability than fire clay bricks.
