The Sledge Hammer is a heavy material collection tool. It is an essential tool for faster collection of Salvage and Coal, and acquisition of larger amounts of advanced resources like Components and Sulfur. Unlike the Hammer it is not able to be used for building or upgrading.
Description
The Sledge Hammer is a mid-game tool specially designed to allow players to harvest rare resources, such as Sulfur and Components, by hand. When applied to Salvage or Coal it has a slow harvesting speed when compared the hammer, however it is around 33% more efficient when collecting resources, and allowing for more efficient farming of resources. Its basic yield is 10/strike on Salvage/Coal (hammer is 5/strike), 2/strike on Component/Sulfur, modified by the increased amount of resource when a node splits. As the tool is very heavy, it is best used by players who are specifically running resource collection or similar logistical tasks.
