Rather than an IT degree, you’d probably need a geology degree, since the world is generated using real-world examples (https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Rock).

Your best chance is to see if you can find the seed for your world somewhere in the game folder:
C:\Users\{your computer name}\AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData

If it’s not there, then you’ve got a couple of options:

1. Go into chat and write /gamemode 2. This sets you to creative and lets you spawn in the stones you lost (use /gamemode 1 to go back to survival).
2. Download a mod like https://mods.vintagestory.at/xray. I use it when creating a new world to find a good place for a base. You can search for specific things and it’ll highlight them if they’re nearby.
3. Give up on your dreams of endless granite and live with the rest of us peasants down in the dirt  

Just a small heads-up since you seem new: granite is pretty limited in what you can use it for. It’s a hard rock, so it’s good for knapping and some recipes, but the rocks you’ll really need later are limestone, marble, and other porous types, since you grind them down for a lot of stuff.

There should be a setting in the worldgen for "patchy" biome generation, that *may* bring more varied stone.

I am pretty sure they are lamenting the loss of a world with various different stones (potentially including the more useful ones) and complaining about their current world being like mine - Granite, all the way, all the time. Not the other way around.
