Stone
Quick answer
Collect loose stone on your ranch first. Current official notes also say normal rock gathering outside the ranch does not trigger a police chase; a reliable respawning source is still unverified.
How to get it
- Start with loose stones on your ranch. Current-build reports say this visible supply can eventually be exhausted.
- If you need more, normal rock breaking outside the ranch is covered by the official 0.8.10.868 temporary no-chase change. Exact deposits and respawning are not recorded.
Where to look
- Your ranch: loose stone on the ground, supported by current-build player reports.
- Outside the ranch: normal rock gathering is covered by the official temporary no-chase note, but no exact deposit list is retained.
- Mines: not available in the reviewed Early Access build; do not treat them as a current supply route.

Official 0.8.10.868 notes say cutting trees or breaking rocks outside the ranch no longer triggers a police chase, as a temporary change while dedicated gathering areas are developed. This does not establish rules for taking loose items or every ownership interaction. Official
