Track tuning and high-reach lumber harvesting
The Vortex Hamaxe blends alien technology and practical utility by delivering 150% axe power alongside 100% hammer power. Its sharp axe edge tears down trees and giant cacti in brief swings, while the hammer component alters block slopes and tunes minecart track intersections. It hits for 60 base melee damage and 7 knockback, keeping close-range attackers at bay while working in hostile biomes.
Celestial manipulator creation and hybrid utility
Created at an Ancient Manipulator using Luminite Bars and Vortex Fragments, the tool features an extraterrestrial teal glow. A +4 tile reach bonus lets builders adjust track bumpers, shape rooftops, and strip unsafe walls without stepping into dangerous spikes. Combining both lumber and masonry functions into a single implement saves valuable backpack space during long building sessions and surface remodeling. This dual-action utility makes it a versatile companion for constructing planetary bases and outdoor transit tracks.
Trivia
- Hammering minecart tracks with this tool toggles track intersections and end-track bumpers.
- The tool bears the distinctive alien glow of the Vortex Pillar's ranged armory.
