A boulder is a map tile that occurs randomly across the surface of the world, which represent fragments of various stone types. "BOULDER" is also the item token for an ordinary large rock (as opposed to a small rock), usually obtained from mining.
Removal
Aside from serving no utility whatsoever in fortress mode, they can additionally impede the movement of wagons and get in the way of construction projects on land but can be walked over by Dwarves and other creatures.[Verify] Because of these numerous negative effects, a player may feel compelled to remove boulders. To remove a boulder, access the designations menu and smooth stone, designate the boulder, and an engraver will turn the boulder into a smooth floor. The resulting floor is the material of the boulder rather than the apparent surrounding material of the ground that the boulder was on.
If you wish to remove a boulder without creating a smoothed tile in its place, there is another way. Simply designate a wall to be constructed on top of the boulder. After it has been constructed, designate it to be removed. Due to a bug, when a dwarf removes the wall, the floor will be replaced by the dominant floor tile of the area (usually soil).
Notes
- Boulders covered in "a pile of snow" are not visible unless looked at.
Adventure mode
In adventure mode, a boulder provides small rocks of its stone type. These small rocks are useful for knapping to create the tools necessary for butchering.
