Stone Axe vs Plane Axe

[Shrylenticz]

Any differences or just how they look?

Stone Axe, stupidly is MUCH better at cutting trees and killing cannibals from my experience.

This makes no sense, as you have an unsharpened rock attached to a stick, compared to a machined sharp edge compound axe.

the starting axe is really small. the stone axe is like a great axe 2 hander

he is still holding the starter axe with 2 hands. and its steel. and sharpened. The stone axe is just a rock. you don't sharpen it.

it's still way bigger then the tiny thing you start with. open you inventory and see just how small it is.

[SEK_SgtFox]

it seems to be a not-so-sharp-fireaxe which is even worse than stoneaxe

[MacGyver]

when you open your inventory you have all your tools laying on a blanket. you can see how small the starting axe is. the stone axe has like a 3 foot handle with a masive rock at the end. it's gonna do more damage.

What about tree cutting? We can agree to disagree on the damage to flesh they do.

Either way, an axe is an axe. Getting whacked in the face with one will put quite a damper on one's spirits.

You know, in theory, anyway.

True that. the having to hit a soft, fleshy human more times than you have to strike a tree to cut it down seems very wrong though

Sadly the natives don't think the same way :( They just keep attacking.

What about the other axe you can find compared to the stone axe? I have noticed the stone is better than hatchet but like others said its bigger. They should change the blunt looking rock on the end of it tho. Seems like more of a club that way than axe.

That's what I was implying.

Honestly, I prefer the stone axe for fighting because of it's longer handle so you don't have to be as close to fight the canibals, but stone axe vs fire axe on trees i can't tell a difference.

I find the stone axe hits harder. Seems to be more effective on the cannibals.
the modern axe while neat, is a pain. Everytime I load its gone anyway, and of course the dupe with it..
The plane axe is just a survival axe, no better than a hatchet really, so while a good thing to have, in a true sense it would / is much weaker than the its bigger cousins.
you can in reality sharpen stone to be much more effective than that little one, but it takes time, and I dont think we wanna sit around in game really doing that.. lol.

I'm not sure about stone vs plane, but plane vs modern seem to have little to no difference in tree cutting to me(I counted the number of swings there was one difference in the modern's favor). The modern axe seems to be more effective than the plane axe at killing mutants, but I didn't count the number of strikes, It just feels more effective to me.
