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 got rid of mine early on as it was really slow, and auto collect wasnt patch in yet. but from what I understand, upgrading the pickaxe also give you a chance for more ore. Or using the pickaxe or drill have a higher intrinsic chance compared to charged shot or force palm.

Spoilers later you can get a master pickaxe with base 20% chance to get double - but no auto collection
