Spade: Difference between revisions

'''Spades''' are [[Crafting|crafted]] tools used by a [[Blockhead]]. Their primary purpose is to collect or dig into [[dirt]], [[sand]], or other soft ground materials at a faster rate than by hand. Spades can also be used on small [[:Category:Plant|plants]] for digging and farming. Used over time, a spade will slowly degrade and eventually be destroyed. The amount of use of a spade before being destroyed is related to the quality of spade and materials used.

The blade has a slightly curved round appearance with the color varying based on the materials that are used in crafting the spade. However, all spades have a brown wooden handle.

Using a spade to harvest any of the above plants does not cause wear on the spade. Spades made from more durable materials work faster and last longer than those made with lesser materials. The order of [[Tool Durability Chart|durability]] (least to most) is: [[flint]], [[stone]], [[gold]], [[tin]].

Spades are [[Crafting|crafted]] at a [[Tool Bench|tool bench]]. They have increasing durability based on the material being used to craft the spade. For an increase in quality, a Blockhead will need to upgrade the [[Tool Bench|tool bench]] to the appropriate level before crafting the desired spade. Gold spades have an added benefit of picking up additional items when used on [[blocks]].

|Bench=Lvl. 1 Tool Bench

|Bench=Lvl. 2 Tool Bench

|Bench=Lvl. 3 Tool Bench

|Bench=Lvl. 6 Tool Bench

To record the items and frequency of items received when using a gold spade on a [[Blocks|block]], a comprehensive chart has be constructed. Gold spades have produced bonuses on [[dirt]] (and [[clay]] and [[flint]] deposits) and [[sand]] at an estimated rate of 5% per stroke.

The amount of use of a spade before being destroyed is related to the quality of spade and materials used. The higher the quality of material, the more uses a Blockhead will get from a spade.
