Small Rocks (Throwable Rocks) are throwable items that can be found nearly everywhere on the peninsula, but can be found most frequently on beaches.

Gameplay[]

They are primarily used as ammunition for the slingshot:

They can also be used as tool to distract cannibals and mutants. You can find them by poking the ground with a stick or simply walking up and down the beaches.

If you poke the ground with a stick in your hand, you have a chance to dig up a throwable rock. However, it is also possible to either dig up nothing or get coins instead. Keep in mind that you can only do this in certain locations on the surface, as it's impossible to dig up small rocks inside caves or by poking a stone surface.

Cannibals and mutants can be distracted by throwing a small rock towards a nearby area. The sound will often distract and lure them away from the player. Throwing the small rock at a tree will create more noise than throwing it at the ground.

Unlike birds, other small animals like lizards, rabbits and squirrels will not die instantly if hit with a throwable rock. However, if you use a slingshot it will kill them instantly.

Known Bugs[]

  • Bug, where the player was able to shoot multiple small rocks from slingshot, was supposedly fixed in v1.0 but it's still present in current version.
