changedEver heard of picking the right tool for the job? We've been working on making each tool feel authentic and purposeful. Whether you're looking at axes, saws, hammers, or other specialized tools - each has its unique role to play. You'll need to either purchase these tools or learn to craft them as you progress.
changedTake axes for example: That small hatchet becomes your workbench companion. The medium one? Perfect balance between speed and power for your everyday logging needs. And that big felling axe? It'll take more stamina to swing, but it'll bring down those massive trees faster than anything else.
changedFor efficiency, you'll want to match your tool to the task because each tool will have different effectiveness against various materials - what works great for wood might not be ideal for breaking down an old cart or defending yourself in a pinch! Under the hood there's a robust damage system. Here's how it works: Everything in the game (except invincible objects) has HP. When you're working with materials, your tools will deal damage based on their base stats PLUS special bonuses against specific materials and your skill level. But watch out - this goes both ways! Your tools can take damage too, and different materials will wear them down at different rates. The good news? You'll be able to repair your tools to keep them in working order.
