Best Drill/Pick?

[Gold♥Shield]

I prefer picks, but I obtained an Alien Drill from my first Martian Invasion and I haven't found anything better since. Is there a better pickaxe out there I'm not aware of?

Drill containment unit is the best for digging but for precise digging I prefer the picksaw from the golem.

The lunar pickaxe? You mean Solar/Nebula/Stardust/Vortex?

if you want to mine really fast and i mean REALLY fast get a shroomite digging claw then get full mining armor and then get a fast prefix on it and try to make you accesory's have something that adds +meelee speed then there you go a hellavator in 10 seconds

Picksaw, any of the Lunar event axes, DCU.

Drill containment unit is by far the fastest way to do dig in the game. It does take up your mount slot and is a bit imprecise however.

For an actual tool, the Luminite pickaxes are good for general digging with their fast speed and +4 range.

The Laser Drill has +10 range which may make it preferable for building, but is slower (the +5% power doesnt really make a difference)

The Shroomite Digging Claw, while having -1 range is the fastest digging tool in the game, so it may be preferable for digging a hellavator or the like. It can't mine Lihzahrd blocks however.

Nebula is better than picksaw with mining power but no axe

shroomite digging claws + mining potions
i mean unless you are mining lizard bricks and above they work just as well plus they aren't that hard to get
