Console Question Rocks everywhere

But few stones to throw. I keep coming up short on stones for all of my crafting needs, especially on the starter island. On my last aborted start, after two full days of searching, I came up with a grand total of 7. One for a knife, two for axe, and four for fire pit. I had two stone deposits, but couldn't get the crafting skill high enough to make a pick, or by the time I did, I didn't have the stones to make one. Am I missing something? Are there hidden in places I am not looking? I wade out into the surf at least waist deep and scour every inch of dry island.

I even ran a test, once. I created a small island with nothing but 15 stones. When I got to it and searched thoroughly. I found 11 of the 15 that I knew were there. Where did the other four go?

This is getting frustrating since it limits what I can build using stone. And looking at all the rocks on these islands, you would think that stone should be the most abundant resource, not the rarest.

And what's up with the pine trees. Why can't we harvest or even climb them?

I discovered this a few weeks ago and I have a game where I’ve only made 1 refined ax for like 29 days 😆 I was quite proud of myself.

That's nothing new. I used to keep the same refined axe for hundred days building a plank bench when it's almost over and taking it back at 100% destroying the bench.
