Stop Rock Abuse
Hello, allow me to introduce mys... ok screw it ill just say it. I am absolutely appalled at the devs lack of care for the fact that, everyday around the world, rocks in this wonderful game are being shot and killed for no just reason, other than simply to make room for factory expansions. Join me in my efforts to #StopRockAbuse. The rocks are not our enemies, they are our friends. Perhaps we could carefully break them down with our steel axes for a few units of stone rather than mercilessly shoot them, get nothing in return except wasted ammunition, and do nothing but tear rock families part and destroy their hopes and dreams. Thank You for your time. #savetherocks #rocklivesmatter #stopthestoneshed

Re: Stop Rock Abuse
While I can't actually get as excited about it as you, I agree that rocks should serve some purpose even if that purpose is to give you some stone when you destroy it. Might make a nice early-game influx of stone for furnaces. Destroy one, get 5-10 furnaces' worth of stone or so.
Re: Stop Rock Abuse
At least the modding community cares: [MOD 0.12.x] Minable Rock
Makes rocks give you 25 stone when mined with the axe.

As for harvesting rocks - yeah, that would be good. Perhaps in addition to chainsaw for fast early game tree harvesting, some kind of pneumatic drill tool is desired to break rocks which breaks together with rock once you finish.
Re: Stop Rock Abuse
I reckon I lol'd a lot reading your suggestion. And I agree some sort of use should be made into vanilla for the rocks, whatever it may be.

Re: Stop Rock Abuse
Minable Rocks. IMO a Must have feature.
Re: Stop Rock Abuse
I think they were always meant to be minable but they never were very high on the devs to do list.
Imho they shouldn't be minable since the start though, they should require some sort of tech. Nothing super complicated. Steel Axe for instance. And they should consume the item a lot and generate much more stone than just 25 units.

Re: Stop Rock Abuse
They may also break apart into small ore field on the ground which you are to harvest with a drill later for like 500 stone in total. Dynamite may be logical here, but it should be early tech.

They need to get some people to start working from the bottom of that list, or certain things will never get done...malecord wrote:I think they were always meant to be minable but they never were very high on the devs to do list.

Re: Stop Rock Abuse
You can't do that, because then nobody will ever get to the stuff in the middle of the list.Zeblote wrote:They need to get some people to start working from the bottom of that list, or certain things will never get done...malecord wrote:I think they were always meant to be minable but they never were very high on the devs to do list.
Re: Stop Rock Abuse
MInable rocks is a nice way to give the player a surge of early game resources without simply handing them to the player. A surge of early game resources means a faster early game.

They're not in the way, they're just resting! Rights for Rocks!
