'Mastery of Pickaxe' skill / Drill

[ggg]

Is there any chance we can have a slight skill change?

The drill is great, however it's a serious stamina sucker (imo).

Dear Devs, would you please consider linking the 'Mastery of Pickaxe' skill to the drill, i.e., 'Mastery of Mining', instead?

(and in case of future tool, "Mastery of Axe' to 'Mastery of Logging' or 'Master Lumberjack' - something like that?)

pretty please? :)

Pickaxe - 5 stamina
Drill - 4 stamina

It only drains faster because it works faster. Kick trees, build a drying rack. Get dried apple slices and consume five times your stamina in a single day.

The drill is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ oresum, pardon the pun.

Yes, but I was hoping, maybe :)

Let's steal the big drill we built for the tunnel and take that to the mines.

I loved how that one looked :) great idea

You can use Fruit Salad instead of dried apple slices now. It seems like it's easier to make in great quantities to help you mine for longer. I always have an excess of apricots with the trees. It takes two fruits and salad sauce to make and Ack can make them in bulk

Yeah, I just use the dried apricots (have over 3000 raw in storage, and about 450 dried on toon), but I realized that I had completely refilled my stamina bar three or four times with them (right now it's 603 max sta/charlvl 49) when I didn't even start mining until sometime after 12:00.

I realize of course, that I could just shorten mining time, or discover a super stamina food recipe :)
I just thought that perhaps the devs might consider it because the drill was not implemented when they created the skill trees, and it seemed to be in spirit with what they were going for there on that tier of the tree.

Drill + Fruit salad is Stupid.

I just mined 12.000 ores in one day.

How do you get the drill?

Drill is already a cheat code, lol. You already have a surplus of stamina in end game where there is absolutely nothing to do or use it for.

Become "Buddy" with the npc: Mint, found above Ingall's mine, near the furthermost east mine. He's there early afternoon to most of the early morning. He'll mail you the drill the day 'after' you've done enough butt-kissing.

Finally someone else who does this

Happy little accident. I planted an apricot tree and stockpiled the fruits long before I got animals. Now I planted three more. With irrigation flooring and stuff.
