How to get stones?

How to get stones? At the beginning of the game I found it on the ground but now it is very difficult to find.

Look around rocky areas. When our next update comes out, we have already added more. Currently, each quadrant has roughly 725 stone spawns. 725x25= a lotta freakin' stones, so we added more :)

You can also harvest them from stone nodes

Did you manage to get stones?
In my first game I found stones everywhere. Now it's been a while since I haven't found ANY stone on the ground even though I even tried to move across the map looking for them, looks like they dissappeared entirely.

Something have changed....i have more 1000 hours into this game and suddenly its not possible to find stones. I raised it on discord with a picture proving that something has changed because i almost know where all stones are on every spawn point but now they are no longer. And the answer was 725 stone spawns....so why do people keep raising that stones cant be found?

Good Morning Jan,

Because initially it wasn't an issue nor replicated in our editor or when conducting testing, then when the bug DID rear it's ugly little head, I have since changed my responses when people ask about it. Yes, there is a bug, and it has been fixed and will be implemented in next patch.

Please understand that when people log bugs with no images, video, references, or repeatable steps, it takes a very long time to get through so we knock out the issues where people are providing the information first. So if the information isn't provided or steps to repeat the issue, we're not going on a witch hunt to fix something that looks good on our end. This is why the /unstuck issue is happening. We've been bale to track down certain causes of it and prevent it from happening, but the root cause is what we're still looking into (it's not just end of animation cycling, but a potential issue there as well).

More often than not, I get tickets logged that say "I can't do X" or "X is broken". If I am not supplied with the proper amount of information initially or when I request it through the ticket, I go into my testing map, I test it, I go into Single, Hosted Multiplayer, and at least 2 different servers (one US and the other EU) and test it, which depending on the ticket is about 10 minutes to 4 hours. More recently, if I don't get enough information I'll reach out and after 3 days I'll close the ticket and put it on a watch list in case it comes up again.

I hope this makes sense. I only give the most current information I have at that given time and as it changes, so do my answers.

Hi Dera - Thank you for the response which as always is with a detailed explanation. Much appreciated. I will look out for the patch so i can start making them stone spears again....they are after all really effective towards all the zeeks.

Stone spears are super clutch :) Just wait until this next update...if you're on the Discord, Yozza's been teasing coming things ;)

[jan]

Yeah i have seen the announcement from Yozza - super exciting and totally agree that the stone spears are super clutch....its my go to weapon....

Im glad I wasnt gong crazy. It seems like I can never find stones readily available. Considering you need stones to build a makeshift hammer and you need at least that hammer to build anything they can be a huge bottleneck to progression.

Dear Dera,
It would be cool if you had an instruction how to submit a propper bug report with lets say a web tool to do it. This way people who care about your game could really make a difference and help making their favorite game better!
Having an informal communication over discord will only give you informal bug reporting imho.

We do have a proper tool. There's a take-a-ticket function in the Discord which allows you to add video and images (some edge-cases of people choosing not to add in the information that is needed and then argue about it which isn't helpful happens sometimes). The singular fixes for things I can work with one on one through Discord. Actual bug reports are quantified here, or on our Official Discord. We've been doing great for the past year and a half, but we are looking for a bug submission tool straight from the game so people don't HAVE to come here or the Discord. Granted, again, it's a lot easier to work with people one on one and figure things out together :) Thanks for the feedback.

I can seem to reliably find stones in the south-east portion of the map but nowhere else, not sure if it’s the same for others though.

Again, there's a bug not showing the stones (but they are there) that we have fixed for the update this coming month

I'm waiting for this problem to be fixed so I can play again.

Right right I was just offering that I can find them easily enough in that area, so maybe others can.
