Knapping
Knapping is the process of using two rocks to create heads for stone tools. Right clicking while holding a stack of two or more rocks will launch a GUI for knapping a rock into a tool head, as shown below. The tool head can then be attached to a stick to create a stone tool. The process of knapping will produce Stone Flakes, which can be used as a tool to collect Straw from tall grass, or to craft Arrows.
Note: Javelins require a Pole rather than a Stick to be made.
Tip: Stone tools do not stack, but tool heads will stack up to 4.
ALERT: Armor, chisels, maces, pickaxes, prospector's picks, saws, scythes, trowels, and swords are all unable to be made with stone.
Durability
- Main article: Rock
Some types of stone will result in more durable stone tools than others. This is not immediately apparent, as all stone tool icons look the same.
In order of increasing durability: Sedimentary, Metamorphic, Igneous Intrusive, Igneous Extrusive.
Stone axes only drop 90% of the logs from a tree.
Patterns
TIP: some of the tools can be knapped out differently than the below forms, feel free to experiment.
