what happens if you run out of rocks?


Recommended Posts

but what if you use all those boulders too?

 

wont happen any earlier than 5000 days.. have you survived that long? If you did, you can think after that day.

Especially in a huge world gen this will never ever happen.

 

Also rock is renewable in winter on surface and earthquake in ruins so you will never run out of it for a long time.

I beg your pardon? I got better things to do than to play past day 400. Like making mods that make it actually interesting to play past day 300.

well then rock is renewable in a world and you will never ever run out of it.. Just to inform you.. I did not survive over 700 days too it gets boring and in day 700 i did not even mine a single boulder in caves. But I also dont like any of the mods cuz it breaks the dont starve experience. does not make it any interesting but makes mostly everything op and boring..

 

Making mods is out of discussion. I answered your question.

well better not to make healing salves too.. Instead of that, making honey poultice is better as it gives more hp on use and both items needed to craft honey poultice is more renewable compared to rocks to make healing salve.. Use spider glands like that to recover yourself after a fight or healing foods when you are safe and keep honey poultice in your inventory to use in dangerous situations. (After day 500 you will have a full chest of glands.)

 

If you are not a wall builder like great wall of china and dependent on making healing salves, if you have a base in ruins and caves and if you spend a game year down there, rocks are coming on top of you and you will have to make chests to put all those rocks in it.. Also winter time is a great time to mine glaciers as they give ice and a piece of rock..

I have a orld that has not reached day 800 yet and almost all rocks have been mined, so yeah, you could probably mine them all up by day 500 or even earlier!

depends on how you use it. True for most cases. Making even just a beefalo fence and tooth trap with walls drains them all.

Or you can dig mole burrows. One gold shovel will on average yield 53 rocks. I need 71 rocks for the initial stage of my experimental durian farm, so a shovel and a half would be enough to supply the rocks and 30 flint and nitre too.

Don't forget that you get gold from those things as well!

all of the boulders in world in caves, ruins (there are rare boulders in ruins too) and on surface, you can make quite a lot of walls. Especially if you are not using it for healing salves, then there is no way that you will have that much project in your mind to use all of the rocks you got from boulders... Even if that happens, you have renewable resources. Yeah burrows are important too u can put moleworms around you and dig their burrows periodically as they also do spawn in caves which means that you can have tons of burrows on surface by bringing moles on surface.

 

Cheapest way to get rocks is to survive in caves. You can get 2-3 rocks in a game day which is really nice. 2-4 stacks of rocks from earthquakes are guaranteed in a game year (if you really collect after each earthquake and spelunk for it). So bring your saplings, turfs, trees and make an actual base there and survive. down there. only things cant be used are farms and beeboxes (both of them dont produce any food in darkness). You can still get pig skin by forcing pigs to come out (torch-ice flingomatic combo to force them come out of their man made pig houses in ruins) as ruins are always treated as night unlike caves, pigs will always be in their houses..
