How can I get stones and bricks quickly

[rabbit]

I'm completing the ark mission. How can I get stones and bricks quickly?

[nor7hy5]

central since its got both brick and stone buildings and is probably the only place to get enough brick to complete the ark id also recommend you equip the watch to increase the games speed if you haven't already.

[DEMONICSLAYER]

Yep. If you need both brick and stone, Central would be the most suitable location. The other places might have some too such as the first location that you started. However, there aren't a lot of it.

Instead of buildings I suggest to knock down iron fences for stone. It is a lot faster imo.

As it is right now it looks like this is developers way of saying "♥♥♥♥ you, spend 5 hours destroying every single building in central".

There's no shortcuts for 50k XP+extras for a Grand project like the Ark, you gotta learn to appreciate (farming) it and do like everyone did :). Also it's not a main quest and not 5 hours anyway, we are not talking about WoW/Warframe levels of that sport, that's maybe the 1/1000000 of what they require :)

You will get many resources, and more importantly - you will use almost all of them. Depending on your desire to destroy stuff you most likely would have substantial amount of them by the time you'll get to the ark or clear most zones. There are of course few exceptions for that, namely:
-- eggs, berries, gathering stuff -- you can increase the yield you get from them if you level up search effectiveness
-- farming resources -- it's not a problem to get it if you take some time farming, oh and by the way you can level up speed of your crops
-- titanium, lumber -- mostly crafting, and after getting the sledgehammer you can break cars until you get all the steel you need. However, with planks of wood the best and most awesome way to farm them is in the jungle demolishing the wood walls (they used to give 5 planks, dunno about now). Which is rewarding, because you found a shortcut to end all your wood worries.
-- ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ brick and stone -- you never needed those resources, you need them 450 of each I believe and to get them you have to destroy objects that is taking you 5 hits to do so AND THE END RESULT IS JUST ONE BRICK ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Brick and Stone are stupid way of saying that you had run out of ideas.

Jumping on the bandwagon to say ♥♥♥♥ brick and stone. It's obnoxious to collect them in the first place, and a metric ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of work to get the Ark materials.

I remember seeing dynamite/ a bomb in one of the screenshots the devs posted -can't remember when- maybe we'll be able to get them when 1.0 gets released? And no, I did not confuse them for grenades.

In the meantime, I've been collecting brick/stone by equipping:
-Lumberjack outfi, +10% melee attack speed
-Watch, speeds up the game
-Dice, crit chance plus +3%
-counterweight, crit damage +40%

Head gear doesn't matter, because no head gear enhances melee speed or blunt damage.

Oh yeah, i am that part too and i think a knucklehead dev put 1 instead of 3 for every wall destroyed:)) you should get 3 bricks/stones for every wall.
Alternativly they could have put a lot of explosive barrels near walls.
I tried destroying the small rocks but its maybe 1 hit less and still get only 1 stone, there are not enough fences.
I tried the construction yards but nothing there either.
Its probably going to get fixed but imagine the people who farmed leaves without tge kopesh?:) i bet they feel silly now.
For the farming, i needed like 3 hours to get all the leaves i needed(4k leaves from thr jungle,killing the living plants gives 4-8) to build farming tiles.
The devs seem to have forgoten to properly mark the farm in narrows vale wich is the closest farm to the radio tower:p but with the watch equiped its not bad.
The only thing that might be game/progress breaking is that if you give all your fish to the ark you might not have enough to cook all recipies and must go on a very very long walk on the island to find wich one you missed.
Or they could just rotate the loot for small zombies to contain brick/stone.

Keep in mind the devs somewhat said or promised base building and i suspect they limited the amount of brick/stone massivly until they introduced these features.
But they went and introduced the corect final values for the ark:))

I never had a problem with leaves for the ark and the farming tiles. I just did the ascencion in the jungle biomes by killing the spike plants and spitter plant, they give around5 leaves each, and you have a load to kill. Plus they also drop from fell trees.

so no i dont feel silly, though the kopesh in the jungle and overgrown area surely speed up the process incredibly fast.

But remember, you cannot get the Kopesh as early as discovering the ark, since not everyone figure out how to unlock the island on the left

Plant monsters didn't resurrect when I did ascensions. Was it bugged? I thought it was a game mechanic.

[punchobastardo]

If you don't want to discover it by yourself,

columns of Cemetery- Parks-, VIP places- fences give you 2 rocks (+ lots of iron bonus) and the fence +1 rock because of its foundation, meaning tearing down the fence of Southern Cemetery alone would give you around 200 of the 450 rocks already with minor effort.

Destory the brick walls of buildings - the are orange collored.
Stone walls are grey.
