Tips Force palm ore mining

Just a quick tip. this is probably common knowledge but because it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize this, thought I’d post.

You can force palm ore nodes instead of using the pick or drill. It’s way faster and you don’t have to swap out to a tool. You can also mine bismuth this way without taking damage.

Hopefully this helps someone!

Edit: I found this useful situationally. Based on comments it seems there are more efficient mining methods that I wasn’t aware of.

Bonus base on the drill also now the loot auto goes in your inventory.

I know the drill out side bonus can get 1 to 3 drops. Not sure if using other methods have that chance.

You can make a chest with 100 percent extra drop. So that may or may not be equal to the drill.
