WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Stone
Stone patches and mineable rocks on Nauvis.
Before you go
- A drill for a patch or access to rocks for hand mining.
- Fuel or power for drills.
- Furnaces and a route for stone and brick output.
Farming steps
- Choose a stone patch for ongoing production, or gather accessible rocks for a small amount.
- Place drills so their mining areas touch the patch and provide fuel or power.
- Route stone to furnaces when bricks are the target output.
- Collect bricks on a separate belt or in a chest.
- Send bricks to rail, landfill, or construction demand as needed.
- Keep a modest buffer near the active construction line.
- Add drills or another patch if the buffer empties faster than it refills.
- Rocks can supplement a patch when only a limited quantity is needed.
- Leave access to patches when planning factory expansion.
Repeat, collect and use
Patch mining continues until the deposit is exhausted; hand collection from rocks is limited to available rocks.
Common mistakes
- Sending raw stone where bricks are required; smelt it first.
- Using the whole supply for construction without considering other demand; maintain an appropriate buffer.
- Expecting rocks to replenish; use drills for ongoing production.
When to stop or switch
Stop expanding when the brick buffer covers current construction demand; seek another patch if it cannot refill.
