Your sympathy is truly appreciatedI used to break it everyday. Now it's left in a corner that does not interfere with my daily routine.
@Reese: 9 permanent rocks? Ouch.
When I was still bringing in new villagers, I left it alone when it was in an out-of-the-way spot. There's nothing worse than starting to plot reset for someone and finding out the gem rock spawned where you wanted to put them.
It never even crossed my mind to do anything else with it, I just smash it and get the gems. Plus it's fun to smash it.
How do you even move it to a location of your choice? Do you just... pick it up or something?
I don't care about the ore but I always destroy it asap because it's always in a terrible spot, plus 9 permanent rocks is more than enough lol
It breaks and then becomes permanent? Oh no!! I didn't know!
