Wall demolition and tile angling

The Tin Hammer requires 8 Tin Bar ingots and 3 Wood at an anvil to fabricate. Offering 38% hammer power, it serves as a reliable early tool for tearing down natural dirt walls, reclaiming placed tiles, and hammering terrain blocks into ramps or slopes. Builders use it frequently during house construction to smooth out roofs, create decorative steps, and carve clean passages.

Advantages over copper and wooden counterparts

Compared to the Copper Hammer (35% power, use time 33) and the Wooden Hammer (25% power, use time 37), the Tin Hammer operates faster at use time 31 and delivers 38% hammer power. It deals 6 melee damage with 5.5 knockback, allowing modest self-defense against pests while demolishing structures. The Light prefix provides the fastest wall removal rate before upgrading to an Iron Hammer.
