Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Vindertech Pickaxe model can be seen in the video, Welcome to Online Test 2!, but it's unconfirmed if that was the Vindertech Pickaxe or the Hydraulic Mining Pickaxe.
  • Prior to Online Test 6, pickaxes would lose durability when used and could be crafted[1]. This includes the following: Handmade Pickaxe, Pickaxe, Mining Pickaxe, Hydraulic Pickaxe, Vindertech Pickaxe, and all upgraded variants. Although the schematics were removed before Online Test 6.5, durability still exists internally (being 275) but is never depleted.
  • In Online Test 6.5, the Vindertech Pickaxe was tied to two ability kits, "Kit_HarvestWeapon_T09" and Kit_HarvestWeapon_T010[Upgraded], which were removed between Online Test 6.5 and Update v1.0.
  • In Update v1.1, the Vindertech Pickaxe used the Laser Pickaxe model before the Laser Pickaxe was officially added.
