how to get stone?

[duracell double a battery]

I was trying to build a stone fireplace and thought it meant rocks but no, and i have been wondering how i get stones?

They are scattered all over the island and can't be missed.

The only place where you might not find them are beaches and such. Eg the beach at the rebreather cave doesn't have any at all it seems and for stones at the pistol beach you would need to walk up the right river stream to find some.

There are plenty around ponds and lakes.

Not tried yet, but is not Kelvin able now to gather stones after patch 06? Because this guy has magical hands, and can even find fish where there is no fish... so perhaps sending him on a stone mission can help ?

Yes indeed, it's a bad move with kelvin to find food so easy and it takes away the immersion

Exactly ! Especially when you intend to play the hardest mode after patch 06: it totally negates the fact that there are less food and animals elsewhere: just send Kelvin on a fish mission, it will never rot, and you end the game fat...
I think this will be tuned later. Kelvin is very useful for easy/normal modes, but too helpful if really you want more immersion...

Everyone has the option to keep or dispose of Kelvin if they wish.

I've used Kelvin to get stones but he doesn't magically find them. It seems he will only pick up what spawns around you and will go further and further away to get them. He also only carries two at a time.

Then just build him a house and let him chill. You don't have to use him or keep him if you think it breaks immersion.

But I'm straying from the topic of the OP so that's my final thoughts on the matter.
