"They're made out of stone, and can get a lot of it, surely they have a weight reduction on stone, right?"
No. What is wrong with the devs man. They can easily get overencumbered by stone since they get a metric ton of them each rock

Rock golems should have reduced weight for stone come on wildcard
This is very good for soaking bullets from turrets due to its damage resistance and can easily handle multiple heavyβs. But if they have tek turrets the turrets will ignore his damage resistance and he will likely die or be very low so do not use on tek turrets, the stego is better for those. Oh also this is completely useless but you can whip him in rock form and he will move.
Rock elementals are extremely tough to kill or knockout. Over encumbering them inside or around your base and setting them to aggressive allows them to defend your base with their rock throw attack without being kited away by enemies.
Store your loot on one underwater in rock mode, no one will ever find it
Rock Elemental can take a lot of hits reducing damage by 50% from all non-blunt damage. A TAMED Rock Elemental can NOT fight a wild one. It works the same as a Giga so I would advice against it.
The Rock Elemental/Golem is a tanky beast to tame, and here is a guide to it. #1. The Rock Golem is found on a few maps: Scorched Earth, Valguero, Gen 1, and Fjordur. It has armor, so it will take less damage with a lot of attacks. To tame it, you need either a cannon, or rocket launchers, and aim at the head. It will eventually knock out, and you can give it extordinary kibble. #2. It has multiple abilities. It has a standard attack that breaks through other elementalβs armor, a hand swing, and can throw rocks.(The rock throw is the strongest attack) The saddle unlocks at level 70, I think. #3. When killed, it gives you stone(Big surprise), Sulfur, Obsidian, Crystal, and Flint. There are multiple variants: Rock, Chalk, Ice, X, and Rubble. This is my guide to the Rock Elemental/Golem.
