When To Care
Care about Stone in the first hour because starter tools, early crafting, and basic building all compete for simple materials. Keep it close to the crafting table until storage is organized.
Practical Use
Keep Stone near the early crafting table and first storage. It feeds starter tools, quick crafts, fuel or structure work, so searching for it should never interrupt the first base loop.
Related Strategy
For resource planning, count backwards from the project you want to finish. A power push needs electrical parts and metals, a building push needs processed construction materials, and an airship push needs technical components. That is more useful than hoarding every pickup equally.
Common Mistakes
- Do not leave Stone in an unsorted dump chest if it feeds an active project; put it beside the station or build area that spends it.
- Do not burn or process a material just because storage is full; first check whether tools, power, building, animal care, or airship work will need it.
- Do not measure value only by rarity. A common material on the right route can save more time than a rare material sitting in the wrong chest.
