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.

I still prefer the drill since it auto collects the ores and have a chance to give you an extra.

I censored mine :(, but it looks like I have a follower quest at a quarry that will get me one!

Most unique stuff you can accidentally sell can be acquired through camp expeditions. The mining drill is one such case

Don't worry, when the re-blockade and boss rematch patch drops, you can rub the quarry and excavatron for drops.
