Durability on Mining Cells: I don't like it!

[cookn_]

Hello, this is my first discussion i've made, but let me get right to the point.

Mining cells. Mining cells are one of the KEY MATERIALS in the game. They are used to mine, or tear off, blocks from the map or blocks you have placed.

Now, like most tools and items in the game, they have DURABILITY. Now, im fine with durability on swords and things like that.

But i do not like having to find a million things with my current mining cell to be prepared for it to break.

I know this is a little bit ridiculous, but i dont like durability on Mining Cells. It's very repetitive to keep making new ones again and again, so i just want no durability. Or at least much MORE durability to all cells.

This is just something i am reccomending to put in the game because it is annoying to keep on making new cells. Please, Playful Corp. Make it so that Mining Cells have no durability and you can use them forever, or at least give them much more. After you are done fleshing out the game, maybe you could add that.

If you use a cell that is two levels higher than the layer you are mining, they DO have infinite durability. Lumite cell does not wear out on stalactite layer, diamond does not wear out on fossil layer, iron does not wear out on surface layer. In short, once you reach lumite level gear, you won't be wearing out too many cells unless you are mining corruption layer. Even then, you can purify the area which transforms corruption blocks to surface blocks, which again have no effect on the lumite cell. It is actually nicely balanced in my opinion.

Edit: I forgot to add, crafted blocks don't wear out any cell. You can build to your heart's content with no cell at all, but the higher tiers go much faster. Lumite cell is like a vacuum cleaner on the surface, almost too fast in some situations.

Before the miningcell is broken you need to go anyway for the next tier miningcell to remove higher tier blocks.you only need to replace the lumite miningcell and this one has a very high duration, exept u remove lava.

Once you are up to diamond and lumite tier you can do everything in the fossil/stalactite except for the liquids. Basicaly at that point one lumite cell will be enough unless you need to harvest lava/corrupted water. Switch to diamond cell for whatever else would break your lumite cell (lava layer, tar/mineral water/bog water) as those can be gotten for free from pet Things.

On my current project (BOC SE) I'm harvesting 1466 times things and so far (1200 done) I got over 100 diamond cells from a single lumite cell!

Edit : don't do like I did at first, wich is spend most of my time in fossil or above... rush to diamond :D

Hello catdaddy. Thanks for the info, i have the lumite and diamond cell. That was pretty useful.

once you reach lumite, youll never have to replace it if you avoid digging in corruption and lava.

A suggestion. Go and fight a bunch of Things in Corruption and you will have all the armor and gauntlets you will ever need!. I have tons and I have made an armory for that purpose haha!
