Your mod has a bug. It gives the rock pick. But it doesn't break rocks? It even goes to extend it reach to axes not able to cut dead logs, bushes and even twigs. The Axe will! cut standing tree's but everything else wood no. Edit: Ok? Something weird happened after I deleted your mod. Somehow?? I Kept the Rock Pick!? Good news is I can mine and Gather wood again. I guess your MOD is what broke the Code lol.
this mod was not updated for the version you played on, which has now been fixed. and yes, the stone pickaxe is an unobtainable base game item, so it is expected that it stays there after uninstalling. I just made it obtainable and fixed a few of its parameters and added a recipe, along with the balancing decision for it to only break rocks, not ores
Could I suggest lowering the damage per upgrade level from 5 to 4 for the stone an antler picks, as, currently, at max level the antler pick does slightly lower damage BUT has better damage-per-stamina than the bronze pick. I think that's relevant because despite the bronze pick also having slightly better damage-per-stamina than the iron pick, the bronze pick can't mine everything the iron pick can; meanwhile, the antler and bronze picks can mine the same materials.
thank you so much for the detailed balance suggestion. funny thing is, I even nerfed the stone pickaxe stamina drain to the same as the antler one, because the cut item had it set to 4 instead of 6 which would have been ridiculous. I don't like having different upgrade improvements within a category of weapons because the base game usually doesn't do that (that's why I also made the bronze pickaxe damage consistent). I did not consider that in the base game they mine the same materials. I will do a bit of math myself and see if I can figure something out
Ah, I get your point about upgrade progression. One solution could be to lower the antler's damage by 1 (min-max: 25-32) and increase its stamina usage by 1 (7). Not really a true benefit, but that would make the damage spacing between different tiers a little more consistent: 49(blackmetal) - 33(iron) = 16; 33 - 25(bronze) = 8; 25 - 17(antler) = 8. So the damage from each base-level item would go +2(stone to antler), +8, +8, +16.
