Whats the actual reason for spin cycle for not able to be use on other tools?

[Edible Coal]

this one thing bothers me a lot about wx spin cycle, it seems super usefull as a aoe harvester tool, sorta like budget werebeaver, so why cant we use hammers, pick axe or other weapon on it?

is it because they are too lazy to smear frames?

or is it because is too powerful on other tools?

i just want an answer...

the normal circuit gives more or less 20% more action/attack speed and with two plugged you get 40% and 50% less tool use, so hammers would almost never need to me made after acquiring the spin circuit, having to make 2 instead of 3 pickaxes is not game breaking, but i see the reason why only axes are available

I'm hoping that before the beta is up, we at least get the ability to use a pickaxe. I can see why we can't use weapons with it, as WX would become better Abigail, but I definitely think pickaxes are a different story.

hammers in particular would be inconvenient were they to be affected, since it could make destroying specific buildings placed among others harder when it is plugged in.

Because it already uses an edited version of the axe animation

I wouldn't mind if WX became a generic tornado model if it means we get to use more tools than just an axe

might make more sense considering it's trying to replicate Moslings, but tornado model would probably have to be pretty big to match the aoe of the circuit

Would probably look cleaner if instead of a whole tornado, keep WX's head and lower torso stationary, while his arms spin. Would also minimize the need to have different colored tornadoes based on the WX skin. Only thing is being dizzy wouldn't make sense anymore.
