Trees and boulders I can't destroy?

[TTastic]

There are a few trees that are in my way I need to clear but I am not able to select them with woodcutting. Also on the surface the boulders that are there from generation I dont seem to be able to destroy with any of the mining options. Any idea on either?

[TTastic]

Just finally after seconds of finally asking found the answer to one problem:

The trees wouldnt chop because I had accidentally already selected chop in the z level above it. This prevented me from chopping it on the base layer.

Still not sure whats up with the surface boulders though.

To clear a boulder on the surface you surprising use the smoothing tool on it. I've never had a tree i couldn't woodcut, can you show a screenshot of one that can't be cut?

Must use smooth tool for boulders, I think its just one of those things you will never know until someone tells you. You can not mine the boulders for useful stone, you have to dig for it. Best to bring some stone with you when you make a new settlement. Its cheap on points.

Has that always been the case!?

I used to just construct a floor or wall over them lol.

I honestly can't remember how long it's been the case, I know it's been awhile though, years.

Seriously that boulder can not be mined? I think I have played this game and mine some boulder for materials. But now I am not sure if I really did this in this game.

Also the game itself tells you to mine some stone from around when you try to build something that requires stones which you don't have yet.

How stupid it is to have stones around but you can't really use them. Decisions like this makes me regret this game.

You didn't.

Also not even the gathering is working on berries.

Because the berries don't have any fruit yet. You need to wait for them to ripen.

Set gathering zone instead of using gathering button for fruits and berries, etc, I think. Those boulders are crumbling useless stone, if you want a logical way to explain it.
