Pickaxes

=  Pickaxes =

The pickaxe is the most important tool in Malachite Mines. The player will start with a Stone Pickaxe, and can unlock new pickaxes by leveling up their Mining Operation. Upgraded pickaxes are much more costly compared to their non-upgraded counterparts, but give more power, range, and reduced delay.


 * Power - The base amount of damage your pickaxe does to ores.
 * Delay - The amount of time in seconds that must pass before a new block can be mined. This value is heavily affected by one's ping, usually resulting in much higher delay than anticipated, and would only be accurate with ~0 ping. It is meant to be a new, unique variable for the game. (For example, some pickaxes might have high Power, but also have high Delay, which will slow you down when mining through blocks.)
 * Range - How far away you're able to mine from your position. 1 Range is 1 block, 1 block equals 6 studs.
