how do I harvest pipes with a stone axe?

Beat up on air conditioners and fridges?

Sinks and toilets. Pretty sure on air conditioners and fridges you only get iron. Mind you that´s A21 knowledge.

Yeah, just beat it with the ax. You'll get pipes. I do believe like with most other things, however, you'll get less resources as opposed to using the tool designed for the job.

There are random long pipes laying on the ground, those will give them to you.

I'm surprised you didn't already know this.  Hacking sinks / toilets' with stone axe has been a go-to move for me when I setup my initial base in a rural POI and need pipes to either craft a pipe weapon or repair one I found at the start.

Heh. I find so many pipes and use so few that I never harvest them.  Granted, I don't craft pipe weapons and try not to use them.  They are too slow for my taste.  I'll stick to my spear.  😁

Granted, they are not my go-to weapon of choice, but I tend to play agility and tend to favor the knife as my melee weapons.  The pipe weapons are my oh crap - I need space type of weapon.  Getting a stagger / knockdown can get me out of a sticky situation.
