Well, not everything out of stone. It would be stone or magically reinforced wood. Structures would be made to last the generations I'd think so you'd get something like Essential Wood or Stone - though I don't intend to use either of those terms for the setting.

The question of stealing is an interesting one. Vehicles are stolen in different ways than the gadget table lists. Is it easier to steal a whole boat, or just its sails? And does being its own getaway vehicle count for anything? The sail might come out cheaper if you say its easier to sneak the sail away that the whole vehicle, but that only happens in some conditions.

That way lay madness.

Movement and animus is going to be associated with either Wood or Fire.

Affliction to remove Sessile or No Legs (Portable) I'd think. But that's getting dangerous close to "Stat everything as a character" and...just...no. No.
