Basalt is a dense, dark volcanic stone from Cinder's Cradle. It is harder than common Cinder Rock, and masons prize it for its durability and even texture. It is mined with a pickaxe from the dark stone of the region. Basalt is the backbone of Ancient building. The Workbench shapes it into the Ancient Stone Block, Ancient Circles Block and Ancient Dungeon Block. The Carpenter needs it for Ancient beds, tables, cupboards and the Round Ancient Door. The Decoration Workbench turns it into columns, arcs and prayer beacons. The Ancient Researcher uses it in bulk for the Infusion Altar, the Placeable Gem Forge and the Ancient Workbench. The Blacksmith adds it to the Celestium Axe, Celestium Pickaxe and Crestflame Shield. Ground at the Mill, it becomes Basalt Dust, the key to Basalt Farm Soil for the region's crops. Ancient engineers chose it as the base of their Gem Forges for its steady behaviour under heat. It is a late-game material that any base in the region uses by the thousand.

Lore
The Ancients chose basalt as the base rock of their Gem Forges. Their construction notes name it as the preferred substrate, because it stays steady under heat. The same notes call for a gold alloy conduit and diamond lattices around it. Masons value the stone for its strength and even texture.
Notes
The Mill grinds Basalt into Basalt Dust, which the Farmer turns into Basalt Farm Soil. The Carpenter uses it for the Meteorite Showcases that display rare finds. The Alchemist needs it for the Orrery Display Pillar. Many Ancient furniture recipes ask for it in bulk, so a large stock saves repeat trips.

How to Get Basalt Guide
Basalt is found throughout Cinder's Cradle, the volcanic region in the far north of Embervale. A pickaxe mines it from the dark stone of the region. It is harder than the common Cinder Rock that covers much of the same ground. Mining close to a base or a Flame Altar keeps the trips short.
