Rake item location and price wierd

[|||||||||||]

I never bothered with a rake prior to 2.2, i was just digging/nuking sites open. So this time around i went for a different approach - The Rake. But i couldnt find the darn thing. Bridgepour gear shop sells T2 version, and i would never expect to see T1 version in "furniture" stores. So maybe its a good idea to just add T1 version to EC gear store?

Anyway. Why are they all cost the same? 245c for T1 snd same 245c for T2 and big surprise 245t for T3. Is that cause thay are misbehaving?

I think it'S because the Rake is a secondary tool. Without a Shovel or Pickaxe, the Rake is useless. It can't dig or fill up a hole by itself, it's only there to even out your previous work.

I beg to differ.
It can still level the ground on its own so it's not "useless without pickaxe or shovel"

Ok, so you've leveled out the surface of a Digsite a bit. Now what? In South Hope, the dirt mounds a 3 layers high. Can't level that with a Rake.
I mean, yeah, you can prepare a spot to plant your crops. But for every serious work, you need a Shovel or the Pickaxe, before the Rake comes into play.

So yea it is not useless on it's own it has uses tho limited.

Err .. actually you can. You can level the entire SH with nothing but a rake. I did it, and i posted the method in a different topic, just recently. You can remove full cubes of dirt and resore full cubes of dirt with vanilla rake no problem. It takes a bit of getting used to, but its way faster than switchin to a pickaxe.

The only exception when you can not restore a cube is when its completely empty. Which i dont think i have ever encountered on a "natural" terrain. But for example if you made a mistake and removed a cube instead of restoring it, and now you have an empty cube to deal with, thats when you gonna need a shovel to help. otherwise you dont need other tools to level out SH, or any digsite for that matter.
