The Quarry

Opening the bridge

The quarry is the wide rock field on the mountain map, past a broken bridge. Finish the Crafts Room bundles, or buy Bridge on the Joja form for 25,000g. The repair plays out that night.

The Quarry Mine door is on the west side, above the bridge. Once the bridge is repaired, the minecart can stop here too. The minecart itself is the Boiler Room bundles, or Minecarts on the Joja form for 15,000g.

Villagers do not walk the quarry or the bridge, so chests and machines placed on the open tiles stay put. The colored tillable tiles can hold paths, artisan machines, and refining machines. The tillable tiles can also take ordinary trees.

Forage and artifact spots match the rest of the mountain.

What grows back

Each day the quarry tries to add rocks, nodes, and oak or maple seeds. Year 1 makes 7 attempts. The count rises by 2 each year and stops at 16. Rocks already sitting there block new ones, so a full quarry adds little. In 1.6, coal nodes can appear, and that yearly increase is part of the current rules.

Iridium nodes and mystic stones do show up. They are rare enough that a season can pass without one. Mystic stones are the quarry's Prismatic Shard rock: 1–3 iridium ore, 1–4 gold ore, and a 25% shard.
