Correction: Using pickaxe on a plant leaves fertilizer intact
The '''Pickaxe''' is a [[Tools|tool]] obtained at the beginning of the game.
It is used mainly for breaking [[stone]]s and picking up placed equipment or [[furniture]] items that cannot be picked up simply by clicking. It can also be used to remove [[crops]], and to un-till soil that has previously been tilled with a [[Hoes|Hoe]]. Striking a planted crop will remove the crop and , leaving the underlying tilled soil intact along with any [[fertilizer]] in the underlying soil, leaving behind an empty tile of tilled soilpresent. Striking on tilled soil will revert the tile to an un-tilled state.
The Pickaxe may be upgraded at the [[Blacksmith]]. The cost and resource requirements for each upgrade are shown in the table below. With each upgrade level, the number of hits required to break stones is reduced and bigger [[stone]]s may become breakable.
