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 common sedimentary rock that can be mined with a tier-1 pickaxe, making it an accessible early-game building material and a source of crushed stone for recipes like Ashlar Sandstone and basic research papers. It also appears as a host for iron ore deposits, so mining sandstone veins can yield both stone and iron. As a solid block with the Wall trait, sandstone is suitable for basic construction, but note that it stacks only to 20, so stockpiling in bulk early on is wise if you plan to process it into higher-tier building materials.
