How to get rocks (fast)? (not Netflix)


Recommended Posts

Maxwell, Woodie in werebeaver form in rock biome. Or even Wurt with like 3-4 merm workers. If you have a petrified forest go crazy on it aswell. Also Oasis, DF Desert and Caves have great amount of rocks. Or stone fruits as Ivo said.

The most efficient rock source of the game is the forest petrification, take Bearger to the rock forest, you'll easily have around 8 stacks of rocks in a forest of a good size

(you can also keep Bearger alive when you're over farming with a simple bait over a boat, so you don't have to wait autumn to destroy forests)

But if you don't like using Bearger, use Maxwell, it's just slightly longer

If you have the set piece of tallbird fortress or the hound mound one bring Bearger over there to destroy it getting alot of rocks it's only one used though or in summer explore the caves,do not contribute nothing to ant lion so the big boulders can fall down so you can mine it's not efficient but you do get a decent amount of rocks

Thank you all for the recommendations, and also for those who wonder why I need so many rocks then here is a little preview of my new project (for the builders project):

Firstly I will build a hole wall across the hole thing (half left) and then I am thinking about doing a maze with 4 different rooms where would be some ancient relics and ancient chest, gardens, sacrificial altars and stuff like that! The maze will also use rock walls so it will take a lot of those to build this monstrosity! :wilson_ecstatic:

The best most consistent way to get rocks now is farming stone fruit bushes. The more you do it the more stone fruit bushes you get which only makes it a bigger and better stone farm over time. It even produces the rot you need to keep your bushes fertilized. 

I've got probably 70 stone fruit bushes I can endlessly farm for massive amounts of rocks.

The new project looks cool already. I can't wait to see it next Thursday!

Plant huge evergreen forest and the bigger it is, the sooner it will become completely petrified if all the trees were planted as one dense cluster.

Alternatively, if your world is old enough, your natural evergreen forests have already became mostly petrified. Come there after a hound wave and mine them because it will take a few days. Normal trees will also respawn there on their own if you didn't turn world regrowth off, and will also become petrified eventually.

(You can also toss abundant flints into the water as you pass by the shore)

Most of my rock income gets home delivered to me in the cave base by antlion. You can usually get a few stacks per summer this way if you want to take it easy and are not in a hurry for rocks.

Another method is mole farm, but that one is a bit slow and time consuming for my tastes.

Then there are petrified trees, earthquakes and meteors, but these use a bit of randomness to it, and you cannot produce rocks at will.

If you really need a large amount of rocks in a very short time, a stone fruit farm would be the way to go. It takes a while to setup, but if you need an insane amount of rocks there's no better alternative.

Here is an example

If you don't care about actually earning the rocks legit, you could spawn them in using console commands, or turn on creative mode so you can just build the walls for free.

Definitely stone fruits is the way to go now.  Switch to maxwell and keep a mining shadow around.

Also - sry small tangent question - I heard that the rock fruit bushes you plant from the bulbs you get via harvesting (didn't dig them) will not get disease, is this true?

I think I remember I've heard (maybe it was wiki?) at some point that the disease could spread from transplants to wild plants but I could not find that info anymore. Is that some old thing that got removed, have I been misinformed this whole time, or is this actually true? I've been somewhat paranoidly protecting my stone fruit farm and I'd like to know if it's unnecessary...
