Metal pick vs Stone pick
i really dont see much a difference between the 2. the only thing i see is you can get metal with the metal pick. but farming flint/stone with the metal pick is similar drop rate with the stone one...

I've noticed the thatch gathering rate is higher with metal pick, as is wood gather rate with metal hatchet over stone.

Or maybe I'm tricking myself into thinking that , lol.

I fooled around with this in solo offline play
and spawned a bunch of metal axes and picks.
at ascendent grade.
A single axe hit on a tree with a high grade ascendent axe will yeild a Metric ♥♥♥♥ Ton
of wood and fell it with one single blow.

They last longer too.

But, that' scheating cheese.

When I made my own I was not overly impressed other than the fact the metal
pick can yeild more metal ore per blow on the right type of rock than a stone one can.

They are bloody hell to repair even at low grade.

If one managed to make a high end ascendent and I'm not sure how to do that yet,
it would cost far more to repair than a plain old everyday metal tool.

Insanely so.

You get more per strike with metal. So you harvest faster.
