TypeTool

Excavators are digging tools added by Thermal Foundation. They act similarly to Shovels except they can dig a 3x3 area at once.

Recipe[]

Excavators can be made out of various metals and gems:

The following recipes are disabled by default:

Usage[]

Excavators can dig and harvest the same blocks as shovels can. When a block is broken, any other appropriate blocks in a 3x3 plane around it will be instantly broken as well. This can be useful for digging out large areas at the expense of durability, as each block takes away 1 durability point.

Stats[]

Excavators have exactly the same stats as their shovel counterparts, except they have twice as much durability:
