| What is there to say? It’s stone. While the most basic mineral, there are various variants of this. Stone, Slate, Lapis, Hellstone, Granite, and even Dreamstone. Though your disorganization prevents you from separating them out, so you just made a giant pile of colorful rocks. Maybe in the future this mistake can be corrected. |
Overview[]
Stone is the basis of the mine. It's the most basic and the most common material you can find.
Layers[]
There are five differently colored layers of Stone. These are the following:
- 1m - 600m: Stone (Gray) - It is composed of 4 sub-layers of Stone.
- 1m - 10m: The only source of Moonstone and Opal. This is the lightest Stone section, as it is very close to the surface.
- 10m - 100m: In here, the Stone gets slightly darker, but you're still able to see everything almost perfectly.
- 100m - 300m: This is where it starts to get dark, but it's not that dark to the point where you have to hold your lantern.
- 300m - 600m: This is the darkest part of the Stone layer, and takes up half of the entire layer. After this point, the lighting only changes colors. It doesn't shrink.
- 600m - 1,000m: Slate (Black) - A dark layer. Most 'radioactive' ores spawn here (i.e Plutonium, Uranium etc.), along with Shadow Metal from Zwambies as well as Boomite.
- As of The Nuclear Winter Update, this layer has become much easier to see with light sources.
- 1,000m - 2,000m: Lapis (Blue) - The only source of Baryte, Rainbonite, Azure, Mithril, and Orichalcum (from Skeletons). It is surprisingly easy to see in this layer, due to the blue colors.
- 2,000m - 3,000m Hellstone (Red) - Surprisingly dark, especially after the Lapis layer. The only source of Painite, Dragonglass, Firecrystal, and Soulstone (from Infernos).
- 3,000m - 4,000m: Granite (Green) - Newtonium (Corium if blown up with Boomite or the Boomite pickaxe), Solarium, and Yunium (from Zombies) only spawns here, as well as Promethium along the Dragonstone barrier. Zombies have a ~4% chance to spawn inside any mined blocks, including the smaller ones dropped by other Zombies and placeable items.
- 4,000m - 5,000m: Dreamstone (Purple) - Frightstone, Antimatter, Stellarite, Darkmatter, Element V, Constellatium, and Redmatter (from Void Guardians) spawn here, along with a dangerous enemy called the Anomaly that will stalk you while you explore.
- 5,000m - 5,833m (void point): Dreamstone (Purple) - Although this layer still has the Anomaly and purple stone, it does not contain the same ores as the dreamscape in 4000 - 5000 with the exception of Constellatium and Redmatter (from Void Guardians). This is the only place to find Valhalum. This used to be the only place you can find Element V at 5539m due to a developer mistaking the Dreamstone layer to be at 5000m, but this has since changed to 4439m. If you try to exceed 5833m you will fall into the FallenPartsDestroyHeight region at 5833.3m and die, and any small ores dropped by Zombies will be destroyed at the same height, as well as Zombies themselves. There is no use going past 5200m though since Valhalum stops spawning and the max optimal depth is 5200.
Upgrades[]
At first glance, Stone is nothing more than a worthless substance, but later in the game a lot of Stone is needed for some base station upgrades. 300,000 Stone in total is required for two upgrades for the Mining Operations, so it is recommended that you do not trade it away prior to those upgrades.
- 100,000 Stone for Mining Operation level 14
- 200,000 Stone for Mining Operation level 15
Protected Stone[]
Protected Stone is a barrier at 1m that prevents you from mining to the surface after going a certain distance across the X or Z axis. It can be bypassed through certain strategies. It is also possible to indirectly mine Protected Stone with the Antimatter Buster Pickaxe's, Boomite Pickaxe's and Serendibite Pickaxe's abilities. Sometimes you can mine Protected Stone directly due to a glitch.
Trivia[]
- Stone is one of only four current materials lacking textures on the actual block itself. The other ones are Pumpkinite, Dragonstone, and Havium (in the ore museum).
- If you mine to 5833.3 meters below the surface, you would be 3.62 miles or 5.83 kilometers below the surface.
- Berezaa set the FallenPartsDestroyHeight at -30000, but the limit is -50000. If it was set to -50000, then the game would go down to 9166m, but right now, there is no useful reason to increase it again unless a new layer is added below 5000m. The FallenPartsDestroyHeight is a property present in all Roblox games that determines how far down parts (i.e. players and zombies) have to be before automatically being deleted. This prevents objects from falling forever and lagging the game.
- It used to be possible to go below 5833.3 meters with a glitch that involved a TP Pad that was first realized by Gabriel2005_11. DoompyBoomp (terminated) and Catwithswagshades have confirmed that stone stops generating at 10000m.
