Adam the Waster Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) So I read the description of the tempered blade mod and I thought hey extra block damage would be nice on my pickaxe and I took it off my axe and..... couldn't place on it? So I can put it on a shovel. Axe, knife but not my pick? Edited July 30 by Adam the Waster (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFT2020 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Yep, same thing as the serrated blade mod But think about it for a second, it is a blade mod So the following items typically have a blade or blade edge: Axe, shovel, blades, spears, and the steel knuckles Pick axes have a point, but not a cutting edge like the ones above 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempered point mod would sound weird.. but not as weird as Serrated Point, that's kinda definitionally a 2D-shape trying to fit into a 1D space. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFT2020 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 2 hours ago, theFlu said: What's the metal behind the point in a pick axe called? The point is the pick and the rear part is called the chisel (or sometimes head or axe) - which is where they got pick axe for the name of the tool. The steel version in game has the chisel end (flat edge horizonal to the handle). Another version of the pickaxe has the "axe" end which is the edge running vertically to the handle.

"The point" is dimensionless, roughly just the last atom of iron at the tip of _something_. "What's that something"? But if you mean the metal between the point and the handle is "pick" then all right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krougal Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) We're really splitting hairs here though. For the purposes of the game, I don't think it is unreasonable that the blade mods could be compatible with the pickaxe. I mean sure, technically the shovel head is a blade, but who thinks of it as such? Would one really pu a tempered or serrated edge on a shovel? Also, how come we can't have both on the same tool? Now if you google shovel head you'll get much more interesting stuff by the way. Edited July 31 by Krougal (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam the Waster Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 I mean my pick irl is metal treated so I don't see why not plus bonus block damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrkana Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 The pick has plenty of mods that can go on it. The blade mod would be cool but wouldnt really serve a purpose. You can put a grip mode, iron breaker, stone breaker, a weighted head and a gravedigger on it. Theres your 5 for max level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a grip and structural brace/diamond blade tip (hrmmm, now that is a blade mod that is or at least was compatible in a21) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it is a bludgeon and a blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaeliorin Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I was gonna say, a sharpened shovel would probably be my go to weapon for a "real" zombie apocalypse. Easy beheading with the sharpened blade, reach, you can swing it for crowd control, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tman1up Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 There is a blade mod that can go on the pickaxe, and that's the diamond blade mod. I should preface that by saying as long as you don't have the structural brace mod already on it. You can have one or the other but not both at the same time. The structural brace mod lowers degradation by 25%, the diamond blade mod lowers degradation by 30%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almighty_hood Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 1st off the pickaxe has several mods just for use on stone/iron etc, and for block damage use Miner 69er. honestly see how useful duct-taping a samurai blade or similar to a pickaxe would be in a real-world situation and then let us know lol. I have a feeling it's not very useful but I will let you "For science!" that. 🤣 5 hours ago, Suxar said: Did you happen to serve in the landing force?
