Pickaxe

The humble pickaxe is what makes all activity on Umbra possible. Sure, you could punch your way to fame and glory, but wouldn't it be easier to use a pickaxe?

What & Where
It's the classic Miner's tool. Its core resonates at a variable seismic frequency, tuned at the point of impact to assist with separating the matter it comes into contact with, i.e., rocks. They can be purchased through the Uplink, under Mining Tools.

Durability & Breakage
All pickaxes have a limited durability. Once that runs out, the tool breaks, and cannot be repaired. Most miners discard broken tools, but some will take them to a Broker bot and pay 250 to salvage them, getting a small amount of random minerals or by-products in return.
