Sandstone
A rock of varying hardness, useful for construction and as a host for iron ore. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that forms when sand is buried deeply enough to lithify. Sometimes the shapes of dunes and ripples from an ancient desert or beach are preserved!
Notes
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock and common excavatable block that hosts iron ore, making it a valuable early resource for both mining and construction. It is mined with a basic pickaxe and serves as an ingredient for many early items, including Mortared Stone for tier‑1 building, Crushed Sandstone for crafting, and Geology Research Papers for skill discovery. Stockpiling sandstone helps a town quickly produce Mortared Stone for higher‑quality rooms and accelerated skill gain.
