Overview[]
Pickaxes are tools that allow the player to obtain resources. Pickaxes are important and a priority for many players. Pickaxes are also able to destroy structures of any tier, however, they do this much, much slower than hammers. All pickaxes share size and speed, with damage, gather/hit, and sprites change as they are upgraded. Pickaxes are the most used tool in starve.io, acting as the primary means to obtain resources. While upgrading a pickaxe does not affect its speed or size, it does increase the amount harvested every hit. Some players prefer to upgrade the pickaxe before any other tool or weapon. In late game, some players prefer not to upgrade the amethyst pickaxe to reidite pickaxe because it can't gather any new resources.

Pickaxes were presumably added in the "Online" update, but have no appearance in the changelog, having Wooden, Stone, Golden and Diamond pickaxes.
The Amethyst pickaxe was added in the "Winter Is Finally Here" update.
The Reidite pickaxe was added, unlike the almost all reidite items, in the "Water Is Better With Sugar" update.
The max amount of items you can use to craft a pickaxe is 4 items.

The Wooden Pickaxe is the first tier pickaxe tool that the player can obtain in-game. This is essential for advancing in the game, as it allows the player to mine stone and wood.
It doesn't need a workbench to be crafted.

Reidite Pickaxe |
The Reidite Pickaxe is the sixth and the best tier of pickaxes. Like the amethyst pickaxe, it is capable of mining all types of ores.
Being an end game pickaxe, there is not much to do with this pickaxe. Maybe kill some players (with this pickaxe?) but that's all.See also
