Extra Set of Tools

[[101C] ZellFaze]

I saw someone in another thread had lost their hoe and got a new one by having Robin build a cabin. When cabins are built, do they come with a complete set of tools for the new player? If I grab those tools and then demolish the cabin do I get to keep them?

A second set of tools would be handy. I could leave a pickaxe up by the mine.

Interesting idea.
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work. Also, given the cost of cabins, you could just try it.

yes you can get a new set of tools. I always build a cabin and keep the tools to use when my main ones are being upgraded by Clint. You can demolish the cabin after.

On this I heard that you would need to invite a friend to get extra tools right? I'm trying to figure it out.

YES you need to invite a friend, and the tools are in a gift box and you cant open it yourself

Back in April 2020 when this thread was started, you could take tools out of the dresser of a cabin (which was a player's potential inventory).

If you want spare tools now, you need an actual player, and they must take their own tools out of their inventory and put them into a chest or something for you.

If you have a friend who doesn't mind logging in to your game for a few minutes just for this favor, it's really handy to have a second watering can, or spare axe/pick while yours are being upgraded.

So I know this thread is several years old, but I just wanted to mention in case someone else comes across it that you don't really need a player two. Just a second controller.

I always make a cabin and use my spare controller to make a second character just long enough to clear the furniture (except the bed) so I can use the cabin as a small shed and move the tools and free seeds into a chest outside, then put them in bed and continue playing with my main profile until the next in-game day. Once the game has saved just return to main menu and continue in single-player mode.

Can also use the other controller again later to upgrade the cabin.
