View source for Tools

'''Tools''' help you get things done in the world. You can carry them with you in your [[Inventory|backpack]] for ready use, or store them in a [[chest]] when not immediately needed.  

==Upgrades==
You can upgrade your tools at the [[Blacksmith#Upgrade Tools|Blacksmith]] in exchange for [[gold]] and metal bars, with upgrades taking two days to complete. During the upgrade, you can't buy anything or ask [[Clint]] to break open geodes. Tools must be upgraded in ascending order of materials; for example, a copper tool can't be upgraded directly to iridium.

Tips:
*The practical meaning of an upgrade "taking two days to complete" is that you will wake up on two successive days without your tool. You may use the tool during the day, then take it to the Blacksmith (before it closes) to upgrade.  The next day you will be without your tool.  The following day, you must travel to the Blacksmith to pick up the tool, and can use it for the remainder of the day.
*When a tool has completed upgrading, a message will appear in the lower left corner of the screen when waking up for the day.

==Hoes==
{{main article|Hoes}}
Used primarily to till soil for [[Farming]] and to dig up [[Artifact Spot]]s. Upgraded hoes may be used to till more than one square at a time by holding left-click and "powering up" the tool.

==Pickaxes==
{{main article|Pickaxes}}
Used mainly for breaking [[stone]]s and picking up placed equipment or [[furniture]] items.  It is also used to un-till soil that has been tilled with a [[Hoes|Hoe]].

Using a pickaxe on a [[Monsters|Monster]] will deal a small portion of damage, similar to [[weapons]].

==Axes==
{{main article|Axes}}
Used to chop down [[Trees]] for [[wood]] and [[sap]] and to gather [[Hardwood]] from a [[Large Stump]] or a [[Large Log]].  The axe must also be used to harvest [[Crops#Giant Crops|Giant Crops]].  Like the pickaxe, it can deal a small amount of damage to [[monsters]].
{{#lst:Axes|axe}}

==Watering Cans==
{{main article|Watering Cans}}
Used to water crops. A crop plant does not grow on a day it is not watered. If it is raining, the rain waters all crops without use of the watering can.

Upgraded watering cans may be used to water more than one square at a time by holding left-click and "powering up" the tool.
{{#lst:Watering Cans|wateringcan}}<!--Transcluded from Watering Cans page-->

==Trash Cans==
{{main article|Trash Cans}}
Used to delete items from the [[Inventory]].

Upgraded trash cans will return some gold for trashed items.

==Fishing Poles==
Used to [[Fishing|catch fish]].  Hold down left click to power-up the cast, use WASD or the arrow keys to slightly adjust the placement of the hook.

==Tool Disposal==
Most tools cannot be put in the trash can on the player's [[inventory]] screen, or dragged off the inventory screen to be dropped.  Tools that can be trashed and/or dropped are:  all Fishing Poles, the [[Auto-Grabber]], [[Heater]], and [[Copper Pan]].

If the player somehow loses the [[Scythe]], [[Axes|Axe]], [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]], or [[Watering Cans|Watering Can]] (by dying in [[The Mines|the mines]] for example), the next day a basic version of the tool will appear next to the player's bed, in the player's refrigerator (if the player has a [[Farmhouse|kitchen]]), or in the Lost and Found box in the [[Mayor's Manor]].  Mayor [[Lewis]] may send a letter in the mail saying he found them and returned them.

==Bugs==
*In [[multiplayer]], it is possible to lose a tool in the mines, and never get a replacement back. A known workaround for this bug is to have one of the non-hosting players create a new character, have them drop their tools into a chest, and then quit and re-join as their original character.
*When swinging a pickaxe, axe, or hoe at one of the cactuses in Calico Desert, the tool disappears from the animation.
*If the player triggers a fishing rod away from a fishing spot, it may freeze the player in place. This disables all menus and the game cannot be saved or exited without force.
*If you press {{key|Right Shift}} + {{key|R}} + {{key|Delete}} during an animation, this will cancel the animation. This can be used to chop trees, break rocks, etc. faster.
