Trivia

Trivia[]

  • Prior to Online Test 6, pickaxes would lose durability when used and could be crafted[3]. 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 165) but is never depleted.
  • In Online Test 6.5, the Pickaxe was tied to two ability kits, "Kit_HarvestWeapon_T03" and Kit_HarvestWeapon_T04[Upgraded], which were removed between Online Test 6.5 and Update v1.0.
  • In Online Test 11, the Pickaxe model was reused for the Basic Pickaxe.
