Common Questions (FAQ)

Quick answers to the most asked questions about Stonewards Early Access.

Carry the downed player's body back to the campfire and drop it on the carpet or rug area near the fire to trigger the revive.
All players must be on the exact same game version. After any patch, everyone needs to update before joining the same lobby.
The horn signals the start of the next wave. It acts as a timer warning so the team can return from mining and prepare defenses.
Offer an item at the blacksmith to roll options. Choose one upgrade (Dig Strength, Attack, Speed, Armor, Health, Stamina, Crit, etc.). Each player gets their own random set. You can only equip 4 rings.
Yes. Arrows are crafted from wood at the crafting camp. Without arrows the bow is useless. Always keep wood flowing to the arrow crafter.
Bring stone to the repair NPC near the camp/forge. The wall takes damage during waves and must be repaired between or during fights to survive.
Yes. Solo is supported. Miners and melee-focused classes with Dig Strength + survivability upgrades perform best when playing alone.
Miners dig for resources and chests. Warriors defend the base and repair walls. Good teams split 2 miners + 2 warriors and use proximity chat to coordinate.
Head for the pink wall layer. That's where rarer ores, gems, and chest rooms become more common.
Not a random matchmaking queue, but 0.2.0 added public lobby discovery: the in-game Lobby Browser lists active sessions with their location and Wave, and you can join or reconnect to a run in progress. Steam friend invites still work, and Discord or Steam discussions remain the fallback for finding a group.
