The Stone is an essential material used for the Sharpened weapon upgrade for the pitchfork, the shovel, and the axe. Stones are primarily used as weapons by the Rock Savages. A stack of stones can also be easily found on wood piles and serve as convenient improvised, if ineffective, throwing weapons in the early game.

Strategies

• Throwing a stone close to most creatures will alert them toward the spot where the stone landed.
• Poisonous mushrooms and infected human bodies can be triggered by a well-aimed stone throw.
• Thrown stones either from rock Savages or the player cannot be collected again. Aim carefully!
• Exactly 4 stones are needed to kill a single dog, provided none miss the target.
• The stone is the weakest weapon in the entire game, dealing as little as 5 damage, which is half the damage of the torch. Therefore, stones are best employed in dealing with peaceful creatures like rabbits or setting off environmental traps due to their ineffectiveness in actual combat.

Trivia

• As stones have no value, they can be sold to vendors and pointlessly bought back for nothing.
