Any real point to upgrading tools?

[Ramsis]

I'm trying hard to get Hardwood and I know you upgrade your axe to steel to get it... but then what? I don't seem to chop trees down faster, it doesn't seem to do much of anything else. If I make it gold what benefit do I get?

Other than the pickaxe and the axe, what is the benefit point for point of upgrading the other tools? Also what are the benefits of pickaxe and axe upgrades past steel?

For pickaxe, in level past 90?? With the lava biome, it took 2 hit to destroy normal rocks wherw it took only once for gold

If mining in mines is your thing then upgrading pickaxe will greatly help reaching bottom and saving time and energy to


Watering Can upgrade in early game before you unlock quality sprinkler is really great as you can water down upto 5 tile in front of you at steel upgrade , i find that steel can is sufficient as the quality sprinkler make the can kinda obselete, but handy in some cases


As for Axe, i dont see any noticable difference

Hoe, no reason to upgrade that, 1 tile is enough

You should only have to upgrade your axe to Copper for getting Hardwood from the tree stumps. Do you get Hardwood from the big logs on your farm too?

Yes and they require steel. There's also an area on the map that's blocked by one of those logs and there's a fishing pond and respawning tree stumps inside there. So it's worth it to at least get to steel.

All of the tools are worth upgrading. They save energy if nothing else.

I know that normal axe - Trees took 10 hits to chop down. With copper, they took 8.
Stumps (after chopping trees) went from 5 to four.

The basic axe need 15 hits to completely cut down a tree. The bronze axe 13 hits and so on you basically use less energie.
