Tools (Echoes of the Ancients)
Echoes of the Ancients adds many new tools to the game, typically crafted with new crafting materials and sometimes serving as upgrades to existing tools. The mod also adds items which change the time of day upon use, as well as enable certain new mechanics to affect gameplay.
Usual Tools
Pickaxes
Pickaxes are used to free placed blocks or furniture for collection. When used on blocks, this is often referred to as "mining" or "digging". Their tier determines which types of blocks they can mine, as well as the number of hits it takes to remove each block type.
Axes
Axes are used to harvest background plants like trees, cacti, and Giant Glowing Mushrooms.
