I like the mod that halves the amount of stone used to build things. It feels much more reasonable to build projects with stone when it doesnt require manually strip mining an area single handedly.
But then u just mine stone by building your base into a land island 50 feet straight up with a single winding path that allows u to murder things easily lol
But wouldn't this cause too much clutter and make it more difficult to pick up the Silver? I feel like it's better to pick those rocks up and throw out full stacks of 50 that still appear as 1 rock physically.
I'll bring a large stack of lightweight items, split the stack into single stacks of 1-2, and fill the whole inventory with them, then leave one spot for silver, collapsing stacks as the silver fills up. after I have a ~5 silver, I'll split them up into 5 separate stacks of 1-2, this keeps stone from picking up.
the solution is pick up the whole heap of everything while over encumbered after popping the silver. easier to manage 5 or six stacks of rocks than scores of individual ones. i also usually have my silver mining portal fairly close by so i can stow the rocks at my base for castle construction and then manage silver stacks after cleaning out the rocks
You wanna keep that stone. I use a mod to set stone drops to drastically more than the normal amount and I still need to do strip mining runs. Those rocks on the ground that you can pop by pressing “e” give me 5 stone instead of the default 1 stone.
Set up a "misc" portal at your base. Bring portal building materials and when done, take all of the stone back to your base through the portal, manually take the silver back to your base via boat etc.
Once you start building with stone you'll wonder where it all went so quickly.
Yeah instead of dropping and moving on place down stone piles somewhere near your mining area and come back another time.

Oh man I'm here now and really wishing I'd stored all that stone back when mining for silver/tin/copper
Every time I have like 10 dedicated chests full of stone I feel like I can build a big ass castle out of it... and every time I am wrong.

Take a portal with you to quickly transport the stone to your base or just put a chest down
I always have a portal ready and waiting at my base. It's called "sad." Because I have died so many times and going through that portal means I died
To add to this, you should always have at least one portal nearby, especially in harsher biomes like plains or mountain
Emergency portal at home that doesn't have a name so when you're in panic you don't have to remember the name.
Rock and stone!
To Rock and Stone!
ROCK AND ROLL AND STONE
Did I hear a rock and stone??
If you don't rock and stone you ain't comin' home!
I just hoard at and put it into 10 piles all clipping into each other.
Press V to turn off auto-pickup.
It was.. until I changed it cause I kept accidentally pressing it and missing a ton of loot. It is now safely "P" for "Push me again, motha fucka"
Instructions unclear, it makes me ROCK AND STONE

I have the deep rock galactic subreddit on my homepage, thought for sure I was about to see a rock and stone meme, hahaha
To Rock and Stone!
Rock is missing.. then you have rock and stone!
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?
R…Ro…Rock…ROCK AND STONE!
Did I hear a Rock & Stone?!
To anyone wondering, save it. All of it. Seriously. Any means necessary.
Stone and rock! ...oh wait...
I stick a chest (or two) down by my return portal so I can quickly stash items and get back to what I was doing.
I literally just use a portal to place my stone in my storage cause I be building.
I take it home and make 50 stacks for building with stone later. It really comes in handy.
That's fair, I bet it really does!!
If you don't want it I'm sure someone will be willing to take it off your hands. I always need more stone lol
Me also!
I have a few extra chests full if you need.

Just got to mining silver and can confirm after the first vein

This is why I place a portal wherever I mine
You mean copper
Did someone say Rock and …?
I’m always there

That's how it be with copper as well lol
