Use a Doedicurus for efficient stone gathering, especially when carrying it with an Argentavis or letting it wander to harvest nearby rocks. River and underwater rocks can provide especially good yields, and a Doedicurus moves efficiently through water. Beginners can mine stone with an axe, while a pickaxe is better suited for collecting flint and metal; some other creatures, including Gachas, Rock Drakes, Basilisks, and aquatic gatherers, may also help with transport or collection.
