Tools

The Axe is the primary tool used to break wood-type blocks.

Obtaining

Axes can be crafted by players or bought from merchants .

Creation

The raw material used to create the tool head determines the crafting process required:

• Knapping : All tool-making stones
• Casting (100 units): Copper and Bronze alloy
• Smithing (1 ingot): tool head crafted from the metals shown in the table (below).
• Scrap Weapon Kit : scrap axe randomly acquired on

usage

• Assembly, with either Stick (for every axe head) or Bone (for flint and stone axe head only):

Purchasing

You can purchase axes from Survival Goods Traders . They sell them sometimes:

• Tin-bronze axe: for an average price of 9 rusty gears .
• Bismuth-bronze axe: for an average price of 10 rusty gears .
• Black bronze axe: for an average price of 11 rusty gears .

Usage

The axe is most efficient when used to break wood blocks such as trees , logs, planks , fences, gates and items including wooden building components.

Harvesting

Breaking a tree with an axe will break many blocks at once. The targeted block will take a long time to break and when it does break, the tree will break with it. The max number of blocks it breaks is limited by the remaining durability of the axe. Cutting the whole tree at once still applies the same amount of damage to the axe as if each block was broken individually.

Tree felling time is also based on wood type; hardwoods take 30% longer; tropical hardwoods longer still.

Purpleheart requires at least a copper/scrap axe to fell; ebony requires at least a bronze axe.

Protip: Cutting the whole tree is much faster if you break all the leaves first! This also drops many more tree seeds and sticks.

Crafting

Firewood is crafted using the axe. When the axe is being used as a crafting tool, each time the recipe is crafted the tool will lose durability.

Selling

You can sell the axes you craft to Building Materials Traders . They purchase sometimes:

• Tin-bronze axe: for an average price of 4 rusty gears .
• Bismuth-bronze axe: for an average price of 5 rusty gears .
• Black bronze axe: for an average price of 6 rusty gears .

Storage

Axes can be placed against a wall, stored in containers and placed on tool racks .
