Resource locations
Stone Rock Collection
Collecting exposed Nauvis rocks provides stone for early construction before a patch line is ready.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Stone Rock Collection
Exposed mineable rocks near the Nauvis base or a planned construction area.
Before you go
- Access to Nauvis rocks that can be mined.
- Inventory space for collected stone.
- A defined use such as stone furnaces, rails, landfill, or stone bricks.
- A nearby patch and drill if ongoing supply is needed.
Farming steps
- Identify exposed rocks near the base or construction work that require stone.
- Mine the rocks and collect the stone they yield into inventory.
- Carry the stone to the construction task or place it in a clearly labeled local supply chest.
- Use the collected stone for the intended construction or feed it into a furnace for stone bricks.
- For recurring demand, locate a stone patch and place drills where their mining areas overlap it.
- Route patch output to furnaces for bricks or directly to the construction supply as appropriate.
- Check the remaining stock and switch from rock pickup to patch mining when local rocks are exhausted.
- Collect rocks near a planned build so the stone is already close to its first use.
- If stone is going into bricks, keep the furnace output accessible to rail, landfill, or construction demand.
Repeat, collect and use
Rock pickup is limited to available exposed rocks; repeat collection requires other rocks, while a drilled stone patch provides the ongoing farm.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a cleared rock is a renewable supply; switch to patch mining for sustained demand.
- Carrying stone without a planned destination; use a nearby construction need or labeled stock point.
- Building a furnace line without fuel; supply the furnace before expecting bricks.
When to stop or switch
Stop collecting local rocks when they are gone or the immediate build has enough stone; establish patch mining if demand continues.
