How many rock shapes are there?

[aumgn]

I’m working on my rock garden and I’ve finally figured out where I want everything.

Now I’m getting picky about what rock shape goes where, and I want to confirm how many rock shapes there are.

• Single rock, notch in front
• Single rock, faint circle on top
• Single rock, pointy left side
• Two rocks, small rock upper left
• Two rocks, small rock upper right

Is this it? [[Edit 24 hours later... yes, just these five shapes.]]

gosh, rock gardens are so hard. i’m too preoccupied trying to get all the rocks in the right space, let alone the right type. good luck!

It’s a very very bad idea.

Ooof that sounds really tedious. Unfortunately I don't have an answer to your question, but I wish you good luck!

After 60+ respawns... I’ll confirm, yeah, just these 5 shapes.

Thanks for your dedication to the science

I realized this when making my rock garden a month ago. I decided to have them all be single rocks.

Rock garden that looks effortless actually takes an amazing amount of effort.

I realized this when making my rock garden a month ago. I decided to have them all be single rocks.

My intent was to build a Japanese inspired garden area. I decided to use a little wabi sabi, so I cleared out a large area and let the rocks spawn wherever they may. I had to do a couple manual tweaks (the rocks kept spawning on the right side of the area) but I never forced location entirely.

Once the locations felt right, I noticed that I had identical rocks right next to each other, and that’s when I decided to go for a more specific configuration. I set up a decision tree for each spot, and how that would affect other spots.

For example, spot A can be rock 1 or rock 2. If spot A is rock 1, then spot B must be rock 2. If spot A is rock 2, then spot B can be rock 1 or rock 3, etc etc.

I then went through about 60 time travel respawns (in between workout sets), before everything landed how I wanted it.

Do not recommend.

Jeez I'm already losing patience just trying to breed blue roses!

*runs to my rock garden* I had no idea I have three of the same shape (bottom right notch) and two rocks that are double (smaller side on top left) and one outlier with the small part of the rock in the top right. It's not even something I thought about. I wish there was a little more variation but at the end of the day, it's not a huge deal to me!

I wish I'd never seen this! Hadn't noticed till now that I've got two of the same rock next to each other. I'll never un-notice that!

 

[Rosch]

I've never really taken a good look at my rocks. I've always thought that all 6 were unique. Wow.

 

[Lotusblossom]

I definetely want one of each
