Flint in Permafrost

The Flint Boulder is a boulder you break with a pickaxe to get Flint. The Stone Pickaxe can do it, since it mines both Flint and Stone. Aim at a boulder and the prompt shows its name with a pickaxe icon. If that icon is red and crossed out, the tool in your hand cannot break it.

The map has 200 Flint Boulder spots. The heaviest cluster sits around Sonnenberg's Clinic, with 27 nearby, followed by Shallow Rift with 14 and Horizon with 12. Nomad Camp and Rat Queen's Crossing each have 9 close by, and Rift Cave has 8. Another 89 spots lie out in the open, away from any named place. Flint goes into the Flint Axe, Flint Pickaxe, Flint Shiv and Flint Sledgehammer, and into their refined versions: the Refined Flint Axe, Refined Flint Pickaxe, Refined Flint Shiv and Refined Flint Sledgehammer.
