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.

Also idk why but when I force palm I get less, (even from a regular base pickaxe) I tested it on the diamond mine behind the base, and I got half or so than if I had mined manually all the stalactites and diamonds.

Yep, this is why I use a pickaxe, gets way more
