I am trying to render a grid of stones using the code below, however when I remove the stone in m-3-1, the stones above and to the right of it (particularly m-1-5) will be off-center:

documentclassminimal
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarymatrix,shapes.geometric
newcommandstone[0] % https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/184068/45824
begindocument
begintikzpicture
matrix (m) [matrix of nodes,
 anchor=south west,
 column sep=1cm,between origins,
 row sep=1cm,between origins,
 nodes in empty cells,
 ]

 & & & & stone \
 & & & & \
 stone & & & & \
;
draw[step=1cm,color=gray] (0,0) grid (5,3);
draw[thick,red,->] (m-1-1) -> (m-1-5);
draw[thick,red,->] (m-1-5) -> (m-3-5);
endtikzpicture
enddocument

How do I ensure all the stones are aligned correctly?

Cause of issue

First, your "working" code doesn't even output the intended diagram: the circles are not aligned yet

Adding option draw to every nodes in the "not working" code gives us

which can explain the problem: your nodes are aligned correctly, but the matrix itself is not at the right place.

Solution

• Use tikzset
  


• Add option inner sep
  


• Use minimum size option for nodes


• Use anchor center for the arrows (see more below)

documentclassminimal
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarymatrix,shapes.geometric
tikzsetstone/.style=circle,shading=ball,ball color=black!80!white,minimum size=.8cm
newcommandstone % https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/184068/45824
begindocument
begintikzpicture
matrix (m) [matrix of nodes,
 anchor=south west,
 column sep=1cm,between origins,
 row sep=1cm,between origins,
 nodes in empty cells,
 nodes=minimum size=1cm,
 inner sep=0pt
 ]

 & & & & stone \
 & & & & \
 & & & & \
;
draw[step=1cm,color=gray] (0,0) grid (5,3);
draw[thick,red,->] (m-1-1.center) -> (m-1-5);
draw[thick,red,->] (m-1-5) -> (m-3-5.center);
endtikzpicture
