Harvesting stone on Rust may seem insignificant at first, but it\u2019s one of the most valuable tasks you\u2019ll find yourself performing throughout the game. A survival game for <\/span>Windows<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Mac<\/span><\/a>, it can be challenging to find your feet and keep your wits about you. No worries, though, as we\u2019re going to guide you through some basic steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Get Stone in Rust<\/b><\/h2>\n

Stone will be your helping agent at the start of the game, but you\u2019ll also need it at advanced stages. We\u2019ll work you through how to obtain it no matter where you find your character in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Method 1: Rocks<\/b><\/h3>\n

Keeping it simple, rocks are the most basic form of stone in Rust. These items litter several landscapes, making it relatively easy to craft items with. You\u2019ll receive up to 50 stones per rock, as long as you don\u2019t use it to bash things with. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Method 2: Ore nodes<\/b><\/h3>\n

Stone ore can be found in nodes in several locations, but you\u2019ll mostly see them in rocky landscapes, obviously. Each one nets you about 1,000 stones, and the time it takes to extract it will depend on the tool you\u2019re using. You\u2019ll also need to strike the node on the correct spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Method 3: Recycling<\/b><\/h3>\n

Once your tools reach the end of their lives, you can throw them in the monument\u2019s recycler. You\u2019ll need to progress far into the game to unlock this ability, saving you from collecting rocks. Search the land for any items you can salvage, and you may find yourself recycling thousands of stones.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Method 4: Outpost<\/b><\/h3>\n

You might also find some scrap along the way during the game, which is useful for trading with outposts. If you provide 50 scraps, you\u2019ll receive about 1000 stones. It\u2019s a fast method for obtaining the precious item, but make sure you carry large quantities to make it worth your while.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Method 5: Extraction<\/b><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a massive excavator rig on the map that will be a great boon when you\u2019ve become a superpower. It will take about an hour to dig 150,000 stones, but you\u2019ll need about 30 fuel to power it.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rock \u2019n roll heaven<\/b><\/h3>\n

Stone is a valuable commodity in Rust, whether you\u2019re a beginner or veteran, so make sure you know where to find it. Remember to read our guides on <\/span>Rust Twitch drops<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>how to get Rust skins<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
