WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Stone nodes around cliffs, mountains, and other rock formations.
Stone nodes supply material for building and base projects. They occur among other node types in rocky terrain, so identify the target before spending time mining. Carry a load that fits your return plan.
Before you go A rock or mining tool. Inventory space and a route back to base. A building or storage plan for the gathered stone. Gather loose stones for an immediate small supply if needed. Travel to rocky terrain and locate a stone node distinct from sulfur and metal. Check the surrounding area for nearby players. Mine the node, following visible hotspots when practical. Collect the stone and head back before the route or inventory becomes a liability. Deposit the haul at base. Spend it on building or keep it for a planned upgrade. Farming tips Consecutive hotspot hits raise resources per hit; missing one resets the bonus. Hotspots may take time to load and require illumination to be visible. Repeat, collect and use Repeat whenever construction or base work calls for more stone. The node run is repeatable, and stone can be stored for later projects.
Common mistakes Mining the wrong node type: confirm the appearance first. Expecting hotspot hits to increase the node's total yield: they change per-hit resources only. Filling inventory without checking the trip home: leave room to carry the haul safely. When to stop or switch Stop when the current build or upgrade has enough stone, then return or switch to another material goal.
