Some Opinions on Tools Syetems

[Tokuri]

I am a loyal fan of dst from China, playing for more than 2000 hours. I have some advice for tools system,especially the latest lunarplant tools.

The lunarplant pickaxe, I think, should have the function of axe, not only pickaxe and hammer. For a save in which players started to use lunarplant tools, they must have defeated alterguardian and accumulated enough resources. If they do not finish this save, they probably want to build a long-term base(like my world for more than 3000days). In such a period they do not need to spend much time on collecting resources by themselves, but focus on building a beautiful base or kinds of  factories to produce resources effeciently. So an extra axe should not occupy a slot of inventory(in fact, more than one slot because we have to carry the material to make it). A lunarplant pickaxe and repair kit should be enough for most situation.

Then the multitool axe pickaxe, may be completely repced by lunarplant pickaxe, so it also need to be adjusted. In the tools system, thulecite tools is corresponding to moongalss tools, and voidcloth tools is corresponding to lunarplant tools.The multitool axe pickaxe's 133% effeciency is not attractive enough. Just like Moonglassaxe, multitool axe pickaxe should be disigned as only a pickaxe, but 200% effecienncy. Its role should be a specific tool for specific tasks(like mining lots of petrified trees) but not daily use, because it can only be made next to ancient altar.

And lunaplant shovel, the function of hoe is useless. If you have already reached lunarplant period, why not change to Wormwood to farm? In fact it is only a high durability shovel, however, acceptable.

Thanks for your reading.

I wouldnt mind having the moon pick/hammer also have an axe in there, tho it wouldnt really change much. Not like anyone farms trees via axes post moonlord anymore. Not opposed to it

Having the pick/axe turn into just a pickaxe is intresting. If you gave it more durability id love it. Not like anyones ever used the axe part in any serious manner besides maybe for some toadstool speedruns

Yeah i never liked the moon shovel either. A tool that can accidently undo your planted crop be the same one that plants it was a bad idea. Its even worse on controller. Not sure what you can do with it besides all those cool ideas in the beta people had
