Tinkers Tools: Difference between revisions

Energetic Alloy, Vibrant Alloy, or most other GT metals are good upgrades for later on, but by then you will be using the tools exclusively for base building. Later on you can make a [[Vajra]] which essentially acts as all tools plus GT tools in one and insta-mines blocks.

Hammers should be rushed ASAP as it will greatly speed up your mining.

In general, it's good to aim for a material that gives a good mix of durability and mining speed while being easily repairable. Higher mining speed also increases the tool experience required to level exponentially, so be careful when upgrading especially when you are close to the next tool level.

For Lumberaxe and Excavators, it is recommended to start out of Netherrack for ease of repairing as they are incredibly easy to level up and Wood/Dirt/Sand has no mining level. However, making them out of the common materials is fine as well.

* Head: Alumite (if you can afford steel/aluminum, this is not necessarily the best) or Bronze (common, preferred)

* Head: Alumite/Bronze

* Large Plates: Alumite, Iron

* Head: Cobalt, Vanadiumsteel (post MV Extruder)

* Large Plates: You can use either Vanadiumsteel (good balance of durability/mining speed) or Perditio (very low durability but high mining speed)

* Tool Rod: Damascus Steel > Vanadiumsteel > Aeon Steel

===== After that =====

You should be switching to at least MV+ miners, which will do the mining for you without user input. At that point, you'll be using your hammer mostly for base building.
