Repairing Pickaxe Changes.

[Kyro]

I really wish they brought back the ability to repair pick axes. I just feel its a pain to either bring around your smelter / crafting table around and make a new one or haveing to travel back to base when you run out of pick axes. The pickaxes also take up a decent amount of space. I feel for the same end goal of getting a new pick axe vs repairing it via sharpening on ore feels redundant in terms of wasting too much time and inventory space vs keeping a single pick axe and re sharpening it when too dull / about to break. I just feel that with the sparse mineral distribution on planets, they could atleast have that expedient way of utilizing pick axes.

I honestly loved playing this game but this is such a turn off for me; Increasing even more repitition of having to travel back to base to make more pick axes throught smelting and crafting vs single action of ore resharpening. By the time I do make more pick axes I don't even want to bother continue mining cause I know I'll need to go through the same extrenuous process later again.

Try the matter manipulator. It's like a sci-fi pickaxe, building tool and axe all rolled into one science-fiction-y package.

I heard the drill is more useful than the fully upgraded mm. I just wish there was a way to efficiently repair drills / pick axes without the excess redundancy of having to make a new one

They should at least make them stack, I just started this game again and built one copper pickaxe and couldn't even get past the charcoal layer before it broke. So now half my inventory is full of pickaxes and it still probably won't last me long enough to get better ore.

The drill is far less useful than the upgraded MM, go punch whoever said that.

I think I'm gonna wait till someone makes a mod where you can repair pick axes or drills. The time consuming redundant nature of pick axes is turning me off from playing. It was hard enough with the minerals being sparesely spreadout but now with the lack of ore repairing; I understand why some people say the mining feels like grinding for levels in mmorpgs / call it MineBound lol

Kyro, drills are FASTER, than the fully upgraded mm, that doesn't mean more useful. I like the change, besides, the drills/picks are cheap to make. A mm has a massive breaking radius(I think the max is 5x5), profides a useful light for finding ores, has a very long reach, can pick up liquids(lava and posion, for example), and not to mention, Never.Runs.Out. Now tell me, what would you rather have, a faster 2x2 square minning power with less reach, no light, and can break or the mm?
I'm happy with these changes, the repair system was broken. Now early players can use picks to hurry down to get ores, which is nice, but for any player that has upgraded the mm should know the right choice.

I still think incorporating some form of repair while amidst mining would be more expediant than taking up inventory space and having to suicide when I run out of pickaxes so I can go back to the ship, beam down to the planet, go to my base where my smelter and crafting table are to make more pickaxes which will take up inventory space again and have to safely drop back down to where I was mining.

I'm still going to hold off playing till a mining repair mod is made. Just not my cup of tea to partake in such an elongated route to continue mining when I run out of pickaxes or drills.

Try not to let this little thing ruin you game like that, devs worked and thought hard about this update. Use the advantages of the mm and maybe it'll be better.

I'm not. I'm just going to wait till a mod that allows some form of repairing come out before I continue.

God, aren't you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ whiny.
This is one small thing. Realize the MM is more useful in more situations and stop complaining so obsessively.
The devs tried on this update. Nice to see it was wasted on some.

Just as this thread of conversations was ending, someone who can't stands differences in opinions appears.

Sorry to disappoint you that I don't agree with you. If a difference of opinion and not caving to another's opinion is considered whiny; guess that's your own perogative.

Just like how not everyone tells other people to punch someone when given a different perspective on a topic. Some prefer the mm for its size; others prefer the drill for its speed. If one was comparing solely on speed of the mm vs drill, the result taking into account of your statement of who to punch would not be quite complacent towards yourself.

Thanks @EmperorC3 @SokerCap @Starbug for your opinions and insightful comments. I appreciate it.

I think this update would have been out a year ago if they had tried.

I never use pickaxes. the only time I used them was early on before I could upgrade my mm, but only to get ores out of rock, I wouldn't use it to actually mine around through rock or dirt. Once you upgrade your mm's power most of the pick axes become obsolete. With the next power and size upgrade there is no point to ever use a pickaxe and finally with the last power and size upgrade you'd be stupid to ever use a pickaxe.

For me I was looking for the fastest tool. So in the early stage, it would be the pick axe due to its sole accessibility and later in the game the drill is faster than the fully upgraded MM with the trade off that the MM covers a larger area. I saw some mods dealing with mining tools in the works for early pickaxes and drills so it helps remedy the issue a bit.

Will people ever realise the diamond drill isn't as good as the upgraded MM ?
